No Boost from my T2

Ok just bought a TII and idk why there is no boost. The car is thought to have Low compression, would this be a factor? It also has a shitty connection to the coolant sensor in the throttle body could that be it? IDK what it is i need help!!

Neither do we! You need to tell us why you think there's no boost. Factory gauge? Aftermarket gauge? Performance?

Maybe, but you need to verify it by having it tested properly.

Not likely, but fix it anyway because it could cause other problems. And that's the air temp sensor on the TB inlet. The coolant temp sensor is on the back of the water pump housing.

RevinRx7,

It might be quicker & cheaper overall if your local rotary / rx-7 specialist mechanic takes a peak at her.

Thanks for the advice vaughn, but there is no such thing as a "local" rotary specialist here in wisconsin. So i am stuck with it myself.
