Default SOHC Turbo question Need a lil help Motor Wont boost since I took the AC out

Hi everyone I have a SOHC Turbo hatch and well I recently took my ac and stuff out as of yesterday and when I took everything out and drove it back home I noticed that my car wont go into boost at all just stops at 0. When I had my ac in it was fine and everything does it have something to do with the ac or what like What I mean is I still had the ac compreesor plug still plugged in to. But when I took it out it just dosent go into boost at all. my neighbor just stopped by and said try grounding the ac comp. wire which is red 1 wire plug connector and see if that does anything. I have heard something about ac cut off but not sure what that is but this is what i have.
hopefully someone on here can help me out. thanks. Mark

pointed here from PGMFI

there are only two inputs that the ECU knows what's up with the A/C.

A15 and B5

A15 is a low side driver for the coil of the A/C compressor relay.
B5 is the A/C request line, which is shorted to ground when the A/C switch is pressed.

if the car built boost even when the A/C was on before it has to be the A15 line.
placing a relay's coil back on the line should put the ECU back to the way it looked pre-removal.

either reconnect the A/C compressor clutch relay or wire a relay's coil to A25, and the other side of the coil to ignition power.
but honestly I'm not sure what A/C would have to do with building boost. Unless the car didn't build boost when the A/C is on before the removal.
Or the A/C switch is set to be used as a launch control button...

maybe you knocked off the boost gauge hose?
does the vehicle still have strong power output?
a25 is a circuit number, the clutch is on the front of the compressor.
A/C doesn't have jack **** to do with boost

the more I think about it the more I think that the A/C has little to do with boost, especially since you're stopping right at 0psi.
are you sure that you didn't knock off your wastegate control arm or bump it?

A25 = ECU pin number.
