Low Boost

I am checking a low boost problem after installing my to4e hybrid about 5 psi . I pressureized my FMIC and pipinng it holds good
I can not get pressure to build when Im testing through the fmic all the way through the turbo and the TID. Is this the correct way to test?
Should the turbo be able to hold pressure on thecompressor side?
Thanks in advance

Johny

um do you have a boost controller? If you don't and that wastegate is ported then you will only be getting 5psi. on the stock wastegate.

is your wastegate ported??? If it is and pretty big at that it will only get 5psi because the stock wastegate has a 5.5lb spring and your wastegate will open up at 5.5psi. This was happening to me. As soon as I got my manuel boost controller everything started boosting just fine.
