Heres the deal. I floor my car for the first time and take it to eight grand. The boost guage reads about 3-4 lbs. I take it to second and floor it, but this time I let go of the gas at 60mph. I noticed my car didn't blow off I just heard the turbo wind down. Also the vacuum from wastegaste to the turbo had a leak. To see if my car would boost more I took it off. And guess what, my car didnt boost worth crap. It still read the same boost(3-4lbs).

Im thinking theres a leak in the I/C piping. I dont know, what do you think?

 

I think you're right. Check it out. Take it apart and re-assemble if you need to. Everybody runs into this sooner or later!

 

I'd leave the wastegate signal alone for now, you could be reving that turbo up pretty high and still be boosting the same with the leak. Also, try tightening the bolt on ure bov.

 

Make sure every bolt is on and secure, make sure all IC piping is tight, and all vac lines are secured and not ripped or pinched....

Also take the BOV off and take it apart and clean it and check the spring etc.... it may be broken... if its adjustable then loosen it up.
