sounds like a massive boost leak running wastegte pressure check the vacuum line running off the wastegate for holes

Both parts are MR. I have an injen intake, injen upper and lower intercooler pipes, and Buschur TBE. To put the manifold and o2 housing in i had to take the turbo out of the car.

Either you have a boost leak, the wastegate signal line is hooked up without being routed through a boost controller (stock or aftermarket), or you have a huge exhaust leak before the turbo.

I would go back to the manifold, loosen the nuts and then re-torque them from the center then right then left, ect until all have been torqued, then i would re-torque the bolts and nuts at the turbo to manifold.

Did you mess the the wastegate arm when you put the o2 housing on?

I didnt mess with it. But the whole turbo with the wastegate was out of the car sitting on my work bench. Ill try the exhaust leak but if there was a leak there would be carbon around that area and there isnt any. I appreciate everyones input
