Is this under driving conditions or are you just revving the motor?
Dose the arm on the waste gate have play?
Have you checked to see if your BOV is closing?
Check your charge pipes for leaks. ;)

Car wont build boost just reving the motor unless its off the limiter :y If your driving the car and you arnt getting any boost u probably have a charge pipe off or a really bad exhaust leak pre turbo.

your right i was just reving the engine...but i still thought u would get some type of boost i knew it wouldent be much..but i thought i still could get it up to atleast a positive pressure on my boost gauge.... i appreciate everyones help instead of just flamming me...this project has been a ------- joke this whole build..everything that could go wrong has..
