still having problems......help please..

i still cant figure out what is wrong with my rx7 , i had it checked buy a tuning shop close to me they did know nothing. i also had the whole car checked for boost leaks .... nothing. i have no idea all i can think of now is that the turbo is blown... but how the car just sat there for a month and all of a sudden blown turbo? i also had a compression test done 106psi on both rotors. any help appreciated.

my car boggs out as soon as it hits 1psi, if i drive on 0 or vac the car drives great. once the boost comes in bye bye power and boggs and sputters silly.......any ideas????

Quick question. Does it bogg at any speed as soon as boost start, whether it be 2000 or 4000 RPM?
Just trying to get some insight for all.

Just a guess since I'm new to turbos also.
Is the orifice pill in the boost sensor line?

If you blow through the line, it will seem like it's almost blocked.

(NA's have this also)

yes it boggs at any rpm , only when it gets into boost. if its above 5k rpm it will just go no where it doesnt bogg much above 5k it just goes no where. i see 8psi on the gauge but i dont know. as for the boost line where the ortfice pill is i think its there how can i check? i blew in the hose and it was blocked up.
