this turbo is really getting to me....its only pushing 5psi and that like when it wants to......i have redone the charge pipes 3 times....cheaked gaskets couplers and even took apart the exhaust side to check the internal waste gate....im lucky if i even will get 2 in first gear...seems like i dont get 5 till about 3rd gear...on my crx...this turbo was pushing 14 psi when i removed it and am using the wastegate that was with it and thats all im gettin? it seems to have like 3-5 psi on start up before it warms up...but once its warmed up its slow....---- i was faster before...this is the 3rd turbo....and al lthe other boosted great just there lives were cut short....and this one is in way good condition...and its not boosting worth a crap...ne suggestions why?

even tho you said you checked for leaks and checked your wg, it still sounds like a leak or falty wg. Make sure the wg is closing properly
