Check your boost gauge line for kinks, that happened to me. If your not reading any boost on the gauge and everything seems to be running right, except for engine management, then it could be a kink.
Nevermind, if you dont feel the boost then im not sure. You might have a leak somewhere in your charge piping

Take off your exhaust flange and check to see that your wastegate flapper is taught (shut) around the wastegate hole. You shouldn't be able to easily move it by hand, and if it is functioing correctly, you'll be able to tell by taking off the vacuum line, pulling the arm and holding a finger over the nipple to see if it retains pressure. When you take your finger off, it should snap shut.
If the armature isn't adjusted correctly then it will open at any hint of positive boost pressure, and you won't get any more as your exhaust will be allowed to bypass the turbine effecting your spool. Other than that, the obvious question to ask would be- what turbo did you buy? What A/R is the exhaust housing, what size trim is the turbine, what size A/R is the compressor housing, what size trim is the compressor wheel. Not that the compressor wheel matters all that much as it is the lightest part of the assembly, but you could have easily bought too much turbo for your engine at this point.
Nothing says lack of spool like a "Stage 3" turbine with a TO4E 60 trim on a SOHC 1.6 engine of any sort.
For the rest of you who flamed, I bet half if not 3/4 would be just as lost with your own car had this happened to you.
HMT has a bunch of fucktards who don't know ----. A majority do, but alot don't. But it's so much easier to just flame when you have nothing to add, isn't it?
