Default put turbo kit on my LS no power....

Well I put a turbo kit on B18b1 in my 88 civic 4 door. I am trying to tune on turboedit being it is still obdo. Car spools up and build 5-7 pounds but it is a turd. its idles good and runs good just when it goes into boost it doesn't pull that hard. doesn't hit fuel cut or spark cut at all. It wont even blow tires off in 1rst or second....It s like an all motor b18 with sound of a turbo.

here is the setup..
stock b18b1
garret .60/.63
fmic
SFP shortie type mani
tial wastegate 7 pound spring
390 cc's

It runs good and smooth all the way to rev limiter but no pull..?.?.? I

Where is the boost gauge getting its vacuum/boost from? Same with the wastegate? From the compressor housing? From the intake manifold? What have you had to adjust from the stock tables on your tune? I wanna say it sounds like you have a big boost leak, but we need more info. Maybe a video.
