Could be a boost leak. Check all your couplers, and do the compressed air test in this thread. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...threadid=98645

I would gladly do that, but it seems I have to wait for 1,500 posts. So no big rush on that.

check the couplers, same thing happened to me on the single rubber coupler I had (replaced with a silicone one). I had a big tear on the underside of one. Couldn't even see it unless you unscrewed the clamp because it was underneath it.

Lightbulb

Start with the easy things first, check the "Boost Sensor". It's along the firewall on the driver side. See if the hose slipped off the bottom.

if its an intercooler or y-pipe coupling..you'll hear a whoosh and get maybe a couple pounds of boost.

i'll use laymans terms since you're new to FD problems

possibly the tiny c clip on the turbo control actuator rod (underneath the car, passenger side, near the precatalytic converter and oil pan) it looks like a barrel with a rod sticking out of it. wiggle the rod and make sure it is secure to the hinge thing. If it comes loose and is just hanging, you'll get 0 boost.
