Big trouble w/ big turbo

Alright, I thought I had a problem before, but now it's worse. My car was running a low, but consistant 5 psi. I took her to a shop to get my new Koyo radiator installed last week. They called me and said that I had a few vacuum lines unattached, and I said go ahead and fix them. Now when I accelerate, I get 5 psi, but then the boost just drops. Does it sound like they did the vaccuum lines wrong, or something else. Please help guys!

Well, without seeing your car its kinda hard to know what wrong ya know. Where are the lines hooked up too???? What form of boost control are you running???

Is your wg hooked up right??? I would suspect that first then maybe you have a leaking IC pipe or something

Yes, I do have a leaky IC pipe. That's why I was originally only getting 5psi. But now my boost just disappears as I accelerate. Also, does wg mean wastegate?

wait, what big turbo are we talking about? if its the stockers, try getting under your car some how and double checking all the vaccum lines.

If your having this many problems, go non-seq, I think you would be a perfect canidate for it. Just check out dontbearikki's web addy and look for the pic tutorial (its pretty much idiot proof since the pics are right there and unless you don't got 2 of your eyeballs or can't follow simple directions, its kinda hard to screw up!). You can also PM him too or E-mail him, he aswered my questions and the conversions I have done have gone flawlessly.

Good luck

Yeah, it's my stock twins. All I want is to see 10 psi. I can do the little things, but I'm always worried about screwing something up. I'm still not sure if I want to go no-seq yet. Thanks for the help though.
