Boost? Is it hiding?

I got my turbo all setup....and it was running fine.....now when driving its not there...its like a ghost sometimes its there and then other times is just nothing....what could be causing this...i checked boost leaks but that dont seem to be causing it..

Re: Boost? Is it hiding?

what does your boost gauge read?? you've got boost/exhaust leak problems like my buddy justin sittin next to me. needless to say, his turbo was bound to fall off the manifold the way it was..... :P
