Hmmm..sounds funny that a single injector being unplugged would cause no boost.

Someone else give it a shot, unplug an injector and see if it boosts. I bet it wont.

take the screen ---- off of your turbo inlet and go to lowes and get recular screen door screen and put it on. #1 it dosent ristrect air flow and #2 it will stop a rock or other ---- from getting sucked into your impeller wheel and messing it all up.. i ran my civic with no filter since last fall and it boosted fine.. even with a blow turbo i was still getting 6psi out of my old RHB5 .. it has to be a exaust leak or a major blockage. in your cat back.. OR not enough back pressure. it might be boosting, but not ebough back pressure to make torque.. you can run 30psi all day long with a down pipe and blow your engine into little peices, but if you run straight dump to atmosphere you will have no power,, and on my old 1.5 there was a ristrectior plate on it and it was holding back boost. we removed it and wham . smoking tires in 2nd gear... look for ristrections or a mouse or something blocking that ---- man.. post your discoveries

I just encountered my first problem. Yesterday I was only running like 4 psi, it ran fine all night. Then today I switched back to the 14b wastegate, and now Im getting about 7 psi. I am also running ridiculously rich, like 9.2:1. I was driving on the highway and boosted in third it, it started to stutter, and wouldnt "cruise", it would run under boost, and while engine braking however. My guess is I fouled the plugs. Im gonna go check them, clean them, and reset to the hack settings in the FAQs and see if that helps.
