Yep, but I guess that's why boost is so low.

Compression is not a problem here. I'm not building boost all the sudden. I'll check everythnig tomorow.

BTW, like I have mentioned in my previous post, DynoDynamics.

sounds pretty damn good, compared to my 220hp / 240trq on that same type of dyno, but running 10psi , crazy! Def making more hp per psi

Definatly check out the turbo, my friends dsm not long ago also stoped making boost for no reason, after checking it out, the turbo went bad.

If your external wastegate is stuck open you will not build boost. Check that first.

Just check and see if ur spring is intact. I am not a fan of your wastegate, hopefully it is just a vaccum issue to the wastegate or something.

It's not vacuum.

Does anyone has a pic of their wastegate, how it looks inside? I'll post mine later on too.

Here is the wastegate pic as of now. It seems the same as before. It's not making any noice while running. I check the cold side of the turbo after dinner. Vacuum is connected.

I don't think we can see "inside ours" is the piston slipping? Or is it firm?

Check every coupler to make sure you didn't blow one off. Is your car building proper vacuum? What is your vacuum reading at idle?
