Re:HELP HELP HELP!!!
how about your blow off valve is it leaking what is it? oh and since its an internal is the acutator arm adjustable? cuz if it is then maybe it is screwed too far out and its releasing the gases without it closing it up first to allow boost. kinda get that i just woke up.

Re:HELP HELP HELP!!!
well i took apart the turbo and here are several findings. turns out the wastegate was hitting the block. keep in mind im using a t3 and an hf manifold. ok so the wastgate is hitting the block and i was able to trque down the manifold BUT it wasnt against the block properly.so when i took it apart again i noticed a smokey buildup between the manifold ports, the exhuast was escaping , very minimal because i cuould see no leak but i guess it did have an affect. second since the wastegate was against the block it kinda got twisted and wasnt perpendicular to the turbo it was at a slant and so it wasnt allowing the wastegate to work right. and finaly my ghetto rigged oil drain tube was starting to melt. so im kinda glad it didnt work because i cant imaginge what wouldve happend it i started dripping oil in the freeway. ok so this weekend im off to finda metal drain tube and put everything back together right this time.
i was curiuos to know also in what gear and at about what rpm does everyone start to build boost? this is my first time boosting so please dont flame me for being a dumb ***

yyyiiipppeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! i got my car to work today!!!!!!!!!! i put everything back right this time and i managed to build boost. im only boosted 4lbs. thats without the boost controller. ill hook that up tomorow and see if i can up that up to 7lbs. it does feel a bit faster but not that much. but then it is raining so i havent realy had a chance to push the car past 60. i cant beleive i actually turboed a freaking car! yippeee!!!!!
and boost on my car doesnt start until around 4000rpms, and stay steady all the way to 6500, is that normal to boost so late in the rpm range? im using a t3 with 60inlent / 48 exhaust and a d16a6?

Re:HELP HELP HELP!!!
damn dosent feel any faster? theyre might be something else wrong with the car, is your engine management working right?. A dseries with 7 lbs is fast and 12 lbs is pretty scary, hard to keep from breaking loose and sliding sideways. So you should feel 4 lbs on the butt-dyno.

Re:HELP HELP HELP!!!
What kind of exhaust are you running? Restrictive exhaust will make your turbo lag(boost at higher RPM) also what motor are you running? that`s a large turbo for anything under about 2.2L and will have some lag.

Re:HELP HELP HELP!!!
it does feel a bit faster but nothing big. im gona try to crank up the boost today and give you guys an update. maybe it is my exhaust, its stock including the cat, i was going to get it redon but i didnt have enough cash. maybe next payday ill get it redone like 2.5 inch all the way. time to go play with my car, heee hee.
