1st turbo not spooling also photo's of the 7

Hi my mates RX7 is pretty stock engine wise, blow off valve New AMEMIYA Intercooler down pipe free flow exhaust and apexi intake.
He has had and HKS boost controller hooked up as well.

It run's fine but as soon as you want to take off there is no 1st turbo response, if you watch the boost gauge it goe's to zero until 4000 - 4500 then get's boost when the second turbo comes on.

He was told it was the turbo control solinoid so we replaced that and it did nothing.

Is this a common problem? Any Ideas what could be causing it?

Check to make sure your lines to the charge control valve are hooked up correctly and not leaking. Use this site to help:

I pretty much have the same problem. But mine is because my primary was slightly damaged when a not-so-honest tuner blew my engine. Just saving up for a GT35R now. Good luck.
