but at idle the gauge will read -20 you have to drive it to get boost. It won't give you boost while at idle. the higher the rpm the more boost...till your wastegate opens. Drive around don't drive like a sissy make some rpms go to redline.

ok, you HAVE to have it in gear and DRIVING to get boost, thats most likly ur reason for 0 boost, now you can see if something is wrong by taking off the line that goes to ur waste gate WATCH OUT YOU CAN EASLY OVER BOOST THIS WAY AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED@!!@!@@!@!@!!@!@!@!@!@!@, but cant become usefull as a last resort.
Please make sure you are driving your car to see if ur boosting

Re:fired up the car today, need help?
I did drive the car and it goes from -20 to 0,and I do feel the car pull, but when I put the boost gauge on the same line as the wastegate and intake side of the turbo it reads 5psi. so where should I tapp for the boost gauge. should I drive the car if I take that vaccum off the wastgate, and what should I look for as far as problems? thanks

Re:fired up the car today, need help?
Your running an internal wastegate and you have the lines for the boost guage and BOV? I didn't know that was possible. I would think you should have it close to the intake so it would read what the intake is seeing after the pressure loss of going through the whole intake/intercooler.

Re:fired up the car today, need help?
hook it up this way...ditch the check valves first. line from compressor to wastegate only to control wastegate. t off the fpr for your boost and bov. make sure that they are individually going to the line that hooks to the fpr.
i have my boost gauge t'd off the fpr and then another t off fpr going to my btm. just before my btm i t'd off again for my bov mounted before fmic in the bumper. it works great that way. no check valves...just safc, resistor box, and 450cc dsm.
i was going to try setting my settings different like your's, but i have heard that the fuel maps are pretty much the same and if you set it at 98lo99hi with the same corrections for lo and hi the stock ecu makes the adjustments for you anyway. that's the route i ended up going and it seems to work like a champ.
good luck.
