Debugging my boost. please help
 

I'm bought one of those vaccuum/boost gauges for checking the fpr. Well i figured I'd hook it up to the hose going fpr from the intake again so I can see how much boost I'm getting. well I still getting a vaccum. Shouldnt I be getting boost? I have my BOV T'd off the fpr also and it opens up around 5k on the tach if i rev and let the rev drop quickly. I dont know whats going on. please help.

are you driving the car, it doesn't sound like it. You won't get boost until you get moving. I could get my BOV to blow in nutreal but no boost.

yea, go for a drive and put some load on the engine. you wont make very much if any boost in neutral

:-) yea I got about 5 lb of boost before I blew off my charge pipes and the line from my valve cover and intake. Sorry about the dumb question, I new to turboing, matter afact this turbo is the first turbo I've ever really seen. I also lost my O sensor but thats another story. My idle sucks ass bad. other than that those 5 seconds where fun.

Trial and error...another way to learn new stuff.
You're on the right track...at least you have your turbo on and boosted a bit. I stil have to hook mine up :(

Yeah man I seem to spend all my time making everyone elses car fast while mine sits here stock. I keep telling myself.. Someday I will get the turbo on. Someday.

just remember, It is cheaper to look good than go fast. Don't ask how I know that. ;D
