Sooooo I installed new gauges and a new downpipe.

went for a drive and went full throttle and sounded like it blew the pressure out like an atmospheric b.o.v.
drove it back to the garage and would not go into boost

looking in the motor the small hose from the recirc bov was off where it connects to the metal hose.... driver side of the valve cover.

also the suction tube where it connects to the turbo was off.

im sure these are the causes for not building boost but wanted your guy's opinion

 

Post up pics of the two disconnected hose locations. Have you tried reconnecting them?

 

No pics until tomorrow.

Now the motor was a little hot so I just parked it and left it.

I'm pretty sure from what I have been reading those are the issues though

 

Check intercooler hose connections.

 

if you are running a maf with the turbo inlet intake not connected along with the bov not correctly installed i dont think your evo will ever run. kind of sounds like trying to be speed density without being properly set up for speed density. connect everything back up and tighten it all down (all piping connections) with some t-bolt clamps.

 

Sounds like your wastegate isnt hooked up?

 

^^ or this.

 

It was a ****ty day full of disappointment. The e.g.t. gauge was not working and my h.k.s. downpipe is not matching the rear hangars.

Anyways
Update:
I got to the car and the recirc was also off of the the upper I/c pipe. Along with the vacuum line so I'm sure those are the problem. Will update more tomorrow. Thanks for the input
