drove car today and it didnt boost WTF?
 
i couldnt wait for the exhaust oppointment to drive my car so i took it for a spin with no down pipe. Idled fine drove fine.. when i tried to boost it didnt? i brought it all the way to 4000 rpm. didnt even hit 1psi on the boost guage. whats up? am i leaking a massive amount of boost somewhere?

my set up
Prelude h22
t04e Hybrid .57 .48
my fuel set up prolly dont matter
Blitz BOV T'd in to the FPR
Waste gate goes to compressor nipple.

when it went up to 4000 RPM were you driving? maybe it will not boost without load, and maybe you need to take it higher than 4000 RPM.

wait a sec...your turbo was meant to have an internal though right (two holes on the exhaust side coming out)?...thats your problem, without a "blockoff" plate, you wont boost
