Default Re:just finished installing turbo

i just fixxed the timing and hooked up the boost controller with no luck. i thought the BOV might be set too loose but that didn't help either. how can i tell if the turbo is fucked? i can hear it spool but it doesn't go past like 1-2psi. i have checked all the pipes but can't find a leak. i don't think it would be a vacuum because the guage shows -20. anybody have anymore suggestion?

yo jeff hook that wastegate line up to a stong vac source my t3t4 was only pushing 4psi like ---- now it goes 5-6 on the same setting and gets there alot faster, also if you try adjusting the internal wastegate too far it really ***** with the spool time, what kinda mbc do u have? i need to get one also.

check and see if the turbo compressor seal is there. it's a thin paper seal that can be seen when you unbolt the compressor.
