Noobie-Car is not making any boost-HELP!!!
 
I am new to this forum and it seems like you guys are on top of your game. I installed a t3/t4 kit on a 90-93 integra and I can not create any pressure. I installed an aftermarket boost gauge and the needle will not go over 0. I've checked for leaks using soapy water and everything is secure. I have checked for loose nuts and bolts multiple times. I thought it might have been the boost controller so upgraded to a turbosmart unit, still no difference. Please throwout any suggestions. One more thing is when I drove the car I can hear the blow-off valve is this normal?

I hope you are sure about checking all your couplers. What type of wastegate are you using? Check wastegate for defects/improper installation.

If you have an internal gate make sure its closing all the way or properly adjusted, some ebay actuators have an adjustable rod. there should be a slight preload on the rod when you install it also.

Did you install the fire ring in your wastegate? No fire ring no boost :1
