Default turbo ls help!

Turbod an ls yesterday. went to fire starts on first kick but has NO POWER. timing is 100% on. running rc 440 and hondata s100 with boost option for management. car has seriously less power than stock! WTF! Off idle 3k-6k car feels strong but will not enter boost! any help needed! last 2 ideas are lack of FMU or lack of fuel pump. any help is helpful!

is your setup tuned? You have hondata on there but it doesnt necessarily mean you are tuned for your setup.

if youre not, i would go and get tuned asap.

do you have a boost gauge? does your car make boost?

if not, check for vacuum leaks.
