dsm problems....

i have a problem...i swapped out the 13g on my talon to a 14b...now when i drive it it idles fine....no problems, no cel's just doesnt boost at all....ive checked all the i/c pipes and everything is fine...its like something is holding it back, i got the turbo from the guy that i bought the car from, no shaft play and the wheel would spin freely by hand? any ideas what it could be?

Re:dsm problems....

even if the flapper was open it still should boost something right...may gauge, which btw is the stock useless gauge on the dash(for now) goes to 0psi a little above...where as with the 13g it would jump to 14+?

Re:dsm problems....

if the flapper is closed it will generate 0 boost... no matter how hard u try. not even barely 1... close the flapper arm and check the wastegate to make sure its holding it closed...

Re:dsm problems....

check to see if the gasket betweeb the compressor housing and the center section is good or is there at all. you'll have to remove the compressor housing.
