Finally buttoned up the t type this morning after 4 months of installing new parts and intake gaskets. Car fires right up and seems to run great at idle and even driving it but is pulling no boost. The gauge pulls up out of vacuum but sits right at 0 when accelerated. I recently installed a 3" downpipe with external gate with a turbotronics boost controller. Any thoughts on where to start?!
Not building any boost??

How did you hook up the vacuum lines from turbo to wastegate? What lbs spring is in it?

If your Turbonetics gate is not new I would suggest you remove it and run a flashlight around the valve to see if it is even closing ( mine was not) or sealing. My gate that I bought in 2008 has less than 500 miles on it, rusted, crusted, pitted. Would not seal. My neighbor was able to machine the valve seat. The valve stem had .018" of runout too !!!!!! Turbonetics was of NO help at all, just said to buy a new one......when I need a new one I will NOT buy a Turbonetics I gaurantee you that !
