funny sequential boost
 
So I finally got my car running. now just ironing out kinks. First off funny boost issues.

I was getting 10-6-10 sometimes
and other times 10-6-6 with what sounded like the bov continuously dumping at 6psi.

I looked found the lower wastegate vacuum hose was ripped. switched it figured all would be good.
now I get 6-0-0 boost. doesn't make any sense.

ideas?

Did you check to see if the hose you replaced had a restricter pill in it?

There's two lines that require restricter pills or else the wastegate will open too early and youll never properly build boost.

I didn't replace it with one as there wasn't one on there previously.

+1 verify which hoses get the pills.
