boost pressure problems. HELP!
so i got in my fd today and it just wasn't boosting right. it wouldn't make over .85 psi no matter how much gas i gave it. i got home opened the hood and a coupler had come undone so i fixed that and put it back on and thought that would fix it. but when i went out and drove it again it still had the same problem. i cant get even get 1 psi. has this happened to anyone else. any suggestions or ideas of what could be wrong.

i just bought the car. flew down to Arizona and drove it back up to Washington. but i will hit the gas and it will get up to 4200 rpm where the boost usually kicks in hard and it will just keep revving up and make very little boost. you can hear the turbo and the BOV is super quiet so you do know that it is making some boost but its making less then 1psi still. so idk. any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

as stated check all the couplers where the boosted air travels up into the upper intake mani.
tighten and check every vacuum line and check to see that the oem coupler where the cross pipe and the y pipe meets ( the black 3inch hoes) is not cracked on the back side.

What are you using to monitor your boost pressure? Do you have a separate gauge other than your Power FC Commander?
