whoa weird!
Having This Weird Prob With My Turbo I Think In First And Second My Turbo Is Not Spooling Up At All Or I Dosent Seem Like It But In Third It Does But Is Only At Like 14lbs At 4,000rpm Any Ideas?
Spill the beans on the modifications so far and you will probably get more assistance. People need context. Also, why are you capitalizing the beginning of each word. It is actually harder to read than some of the terrible spelling I see.
There's a leak either between the head and the exhaust manifold, between the exhaust manifold and the turbo, or the wastegate (if internal) isn't closing all the way or is misaligned.

find this button and take it off you computer.
Boost leak, clamp not tight. Check all clamps - esp. the one that is post MAF to the turbo inlet.
Yes, it's the automated anti-CAPS bot. It tries to de-capitate, er I mean de-capitalize letters when dufuses have their CAPS LOCK on, but it doesn't know to do it for the first letter of each word.
As stated, we need much more context in order to help diagnose...

Yeah I have a hard time keeping my car out of boost in any gear. If you aren't boosting in every gear then there is definitely a problem with your car. That sucks that you think/thought that was normal. The cool thing is when you fix it it'll prolly feel like a whole new beast.
