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.

look at your turbo and make sure the fins are there??????maybe you route the boost line on the door and it got pinch off..???? wastegate stuck open????vacuum line not hook up properly?????
