Default Turbo setup done- no boost? *WITH PIX NOW*

Ok hooked everything up finally and put a turbo basemap on my integra b18b LS and still not getting any boost read on my boost gauge. Any idea guys? I need to double check for leaks but everything seems fine. Hooked up wastegate to turbo compressor housing. Its a tial 38mm wastegate, used the side port. Helpppppppppp =P

Do you hear the turbo spool? Feel anything? check for leaks. Close wastegate and do a gut check.

Listen for the turbo spooling. If you don't hear it... that's your problem.

If you hear AND don't feel it, you have a boost leak.
If you hear it and feel it, your gauge/source is screwed up.

Does your guage read vacuum or does it always say 0?

Ill try and get pics, update right now is ive tried two gauges and when im flooring it itll go like 2 lbs of psi boost maps. All vacuum lines look good i dont see why im only getting like 2lbs of boost. not using a boost controller. 38mm tial wastegate 8psi spring

I hear turbo spooling, bov goes off so must be some pressure

What turbo are you using?? take some pics, you are probably just overlooking something simple.
