His motor was not fucked before this happened..and so far he has not complained about "boosting".

He is wondering if his motor is fucked, because he CANNOT boost. No one knows if this is why, or if, his motor got fucked up.

Mods to handle it? He has all the supporting mods, even a PFC. The only thing he may need is more fuel, but at 13psi, the stock injectors would be around 80-85% duty cycle, which is not perfect, but its ALRIGHT!

You are a complete jackass!

Usually a chipped apex (end part) will show on your boost guage. Your boost guage will "flicker" at idle if you look closely. If your boost guage is flickering at idle, it is definitely the motor.

Also, you can by a piston engine compression tester for $20 to get an idea. Remove the valve that holds the compression and crank away. It's sometimes hard to read but you will see a difference between the both.

Yes, with the valve removed you will see on the good rotor bump-bump-bump, all about to the same number/marker. And on the bad one you will see bump-little bump-little bump, one of them to a higher number, and 2 to a lower number. You usually see something like 100-60-60 or something in these mild breakage cases.
