So I can't seem to get into boost--at least my boost gauge won't show it.

You can hear the turbo spool and the blow off valve release when I step on it and let off but the gauge shows I have no boost. Just stays in vacuum

Any ideas? I have an electronic boost controller hooked up the way the instructions said, I believe. Could this not being set up be a problem?

The boost has to be bleeding off somewhere because if you were boosting with that size turbo and your 3:73's you would be lighting up the tirs down the street!!! I would seek the advice of someone in your area who knows turbos and let them take a peek, but your def bleeding off boost pressure somewhere!!!

Could it be that my electronic boost controller is holding the wastegate open? Or my blow off valve is staying open?
