I turbo'd my car but...

I'm not getting any boost. I bought the right manifold and the turbo isn't that big. Am I missing something??

Well if all you bought was a turbo and a manifold... yea your missing alot...

If you have a wastegate make sure its got a spring in it.

ask yourself a few questions.

was the turbo brand new? is the charge pipe 100% sealed, no leaks? is your boost gauge defective? is your wastegate functioning (is it held open for some reason)?
