Default turbo wont spool

ok so i had some knock off ebay tubular manifold and it had a huge crack in it so i swapped it out for a name brand manifold and i just went and put it on and now my turbo wont spool. my wideband still reads 11.1 when i get to the turbo spool point so i figured i didnt have any leaks in my manifold. only reason i kinda guessed the manifold is because between my turbo and the manifold i used this type of gasket. i didnt know if this was the right type of gasket to be used but i figured it would. second thing im thinking is could i have a boost leak in my intercooler piping or could my turbo be messed up? i hear it start to spool like the turbo whistle then it just dosent go over 0psi. i have a d16y8 turbo. anyone have any ideas on where i should start looking? i would just go out and start checking to see what it could be now but its dark now so i figured id ask on here first and see what everyone else thought.. i really hope its not my turbo going bad but its not dumping out oil or anything.
