Default what can be my problem here?

Ok, why am I not boosting properly?

When I'm driving I can hear the turbo start to spool up around 3500rpm and then my boost gauge goes to 1 psi at 4000rpm and all of the sudden back to 0 psi shortly after. I can hear the turbo spool up all the way to redline and my blow off valve is very loud when I shift, but I seem to be losing boost some where?

I checked all my piping from throttle body all the way to turbo and it seems to hold fine, I even took it off and re-installed it again. Still no boost... I checked out all my vacuum lines and I'm pretty sure I have no leaks there.. I also messed around with the wastegate and the spring is set for 7psi..

So where can my boost be going? Or whats the problem? Any other things I can try to get my car boosting properly?

By the way, its a 92 Integra GS if that matters...

thanks!

Triple check how you have the wastegate plumbed. I bet you got it wrong.

If not, remove the BOV and seal the hole. Do you have boost now? if you do then you have a leaky BOV.
