Default new turbo civic

I just installed a t3 turbo on my d16y7 minime. I get like no boost till 6700 in first and 6000 in second, and its like nothing. The max I was able to put out was .48 kg or boost according to the afc. It does have a frontmount. I dont see a leaks, except for the downpipe. It a big leak. Im using chrysler 2.2l t3. Would that cause it.

if you're using an internal wastegate, make sure the arm is pulled tight.

thats what i was thinking, I have to figure out a way to seal it. The sensor housing is a ball seat flange. I bought a ball seat flange kit from flowmaster, and now it leaks very bad. Ill try some sort of gasket

The turbo to displacement shouldn't make THAT big of a difference in this case.... like they've been saying, it's either a WG problem (stuck open somehow) or a leak somewhere in the piping.
