HELP HELP HELP!!!
OK SO everything is hookup now the turbo the bov all the piping except the downpipe but i dont think that should make a difference. IM NOT MAKING ANY BOOST!!. im using a t3 wihtn a 60 inlet and a 48 exhaust. i can see the tubo start spining at abut 2000rpms but if i hold the revs steady it will stop. i even floored it and the turbo does spin but the guage boost gauge wont go past the vaccum part of the guage. the most i got it to was 0 even no vaccum but no boost either(and that didnt stay steady. i dont know what im doing wrong. help. 
what should i be looking for to trouble shoot??

Re:HELP HELP HELP!!!
you really cant boost when reving in idle it needs load. Take it for a spin on the road. If u did this already and still not boosting then you might have restriction on your compressor inlet; are you using any kind of fitler, cuz if u use a rag or something in front of it it wont boost. good luck

Re:HELP HELP HELP!!!
actually what i did i disconnected the charge pipe starting at the inlet and blocked the tube. it gets all sucked in by the vaccum created at the manifold. oh well its dark now and hard to see so i give up. ill try again tomoro.

There really is no way for a boost controller to lower the boost unless it somehow miraculously starts feeding more boost into the wastegate actuator!! haha, anyway, as for Bongnak's comment, yeah, take it for a test drive cuz you won't be able to make boost in neutral, your car's gotta be moving in first gear. You'll be able to see it spin a bit in neutral, but you won't really generate enough boost to move your boost gauge or generate power.
