found the wastegate leak, broke the mounting flange on install .. new one on the way .. took a long look around last night patched a few small exhaust leaks and things, I am now able to see about 5psi in 3rd and 4th .. so I feel alot better about it, now I need to get my injectors in and get a tune =]
Thanks for looking out guys

I have bigger problems now .. after driving around on very low boost (4psi) and maybe boosting about 10 times I got home and cut the car off and now it wonts start im thinking fuel pump went out I only see a max of 16psi at the rail while turning the car over. (new post going in the fueling section for more help) Thanks a lot im sure i'll drudge this back up when I get the w/g flange fixed. So do I just need to unplug the line going to the pcv and put a cap on the intake?
