Default No boost aaaarghhh!!!!

Okay i just temporarily installed my homemade turbo, just to test it a little, but there is no boost at all. I have a Garrett t3/t4 compressor 60 a/r housing, 60 trimwheel. Turbine63 a/r housing brand new and a tail waste gate with 0.9 bar spring.

When i test my car i can really hear the wastegate, but it sounds like it's open al the time. All the piping is triple checked.

I installed the wastegate on the flange on the turbomanifold.

Can anyone tell me what i did wrong???
thnx

i would run the bkr7e-11's if i were you and gap them to .030 to .032

Also, get rid of those check valves and buy a missing link map sensor.

As far as boost go, if the plugs are not gapped properly the spark will get blown out due to boost. Therefore causing hesitation while undergoing boost.

I'm gonna buy the zfrf7f-11. What do you think of those?? How do i gap them?? With a small metal messure plate 0.32??

Check valves are temp only. Where can i get those missing links map sensors?? you have one for sale is that the one i need, i'll buy it from you??

I live in Europe and the have jack & **** here..........and jack left town.

As soon as i know how to gap the sprak plugs, i'll be doing another test run.
