Turbo install HELP!
ok during my turbo install...i've ran into every problem possible....now that those are all settled, i have a big problem...no boost....it idles at the vacum mark of 20, which i was told was normal..but when i drive the boost guage only goes to 0 then stops...no boost....even when i hold the wastegate open no boost....i hear the turbo spoolin, but i'm getting no power, not even enuf for me to hear the blow off releasing air, the blow off is operating correctly...the flap inside there closes when i give throttle, and opens when i let off.....what could be my problem... all the intercooler piping is tight...no leaks. The car is a 95 acura integra LS
ps. where do i run the vacumm line off the wastegate actuator?

Wouldn't you want the wastegate closed to build boost?

Yes you do. Also, how do you know for sure the BOV is working, does it have an adjustment screw? If so tighten it down a bit and see if that helps.
The vacuum line for the wastegate can come from any vacuum sorce.
Are you running an intercooler? If so does it have a leak? Is the charge pipe from the turbo on securly? I had mine blow off once under some extreme exceleration
