Default Just finished turbo install

I have a few questions. I'm running a AVCR and a Tial wastegate. I set the boost at .2 bar and I'm still hitting 6-9 psi. Should there be a adjustment screw in the top of the Tial or is it all controller by the AVCR? I'm also getting a code 22 which is vtec oil pressure. The code first appeared when the avcr and vafc were installed before the car was ever started. We have checked the wiring 3 times and it is the same as apex's instructions. I installed a inline Nos fuel pump and now my fuel pressure guage mounted on the fuel filter is reading 12psi. Is this normal since the second fuel pump is after the guage? Thanks for the help, I'm sure I will have more questions shortly.

I noticed my car is now smoking a little white smoke. I don't have a line coming my valve cover breather tube and I see some oil vapors coming out of there. What should I attach the breather hose to until I can get a catch can? The intake side of the turbo has oil on it. Does that mean I need the turbo rebuilt?

Are you sure you are using the correct ports on the AVC-R.. aka configured for external wastegate?

The vtec code is from the VTM wire. Make sure you correct it, I do not remember whether the instructions tell you to connect it or not (the old ones did not even mention it).

The inline fuel pump will alter the line pressure after the stock/before the inline pump. That is normal.

Is there any way to check and the oil seal on the turbo with the turbo on the motor?

Today, I did a compression test. Here are the results:
1:215
2:88
3:215
4:210

I think I found the prob. Going to do a leak down test next. . . .

I'm going to guess either a bad ring or cracked piston. Better luck on the next one!
