I would think the same thing but the WG isnt opening.

did you try to take the vac signal off the WG after you fixed the leaks ?

this is external gate? is it bolted down to the manifold?

well as a last ditch effort change the cam timing back to stock and see if that changes anything. try gutting the cat. i have always heard your exhaust will only flow as much as the smallest part in it, so if its a clogged cat it could very well be the problem.

I put the exh. cam gear back to stock, reset the ign. timing and pulled the line off the WG, still only about 3~4psi. I wont see the car for about a week now but I'm gonna whack the cat off and just weld in a straight pipe. thanks for all the replies, and help.

dont know if anyone mentioned it .. but make sure your wastegate flapper is perfectly sealing.

I could jam my dick in the dumptube without getting burnt if I wanted. The WG is not the problem.
