If it's not boosting at all, you would know it. It would be a total dog when accelerating. Does it just not feel fast, or does it feel like you really aren't boosting at all? Any noise (like a whine) accompany the lack of power?

i can only here a slight whine at high rpms i've noticed a drop in power. im not really sure if this could have anything to do with this but i was playin with an honda s2000 and i was boosting but i think that the boost stayed in the turbo when i let off the gas and then i floored it right after again.

Do you know your mods? Do you have a boost gauge?

check your Intercooler pipes (mainly the upper, the one near the battery)...that one tends to pop off

does your boost gauge say that you're boosting or not?
