No Boost

Cant hardly build any boost. I only build about 5 bounds down the highway. I dont build any through town even when i stand on it, then i can build about 15 psi. If i just stand on it hard in fourth gear I can slowly climb to 23-24. I should be way above that with #100 slid, afc slid. starwheel backed off. ats 3 peice and bhaf. Already checked intercooler boots and gauge is sealed off good. I'm out of ideas. You guys have any?

Check out my post called The Big Three and there is a link in there to show you how to make a boost leak tester. You hook it in to your boost system and spray soapy water around everything and look for leaks. It works great, I just tested mine Monday. Good luck.

if you have not touched your wastegate then that is about all the boost you will see.
