Non-seq. boost problem?!
At idle and normal driving the car is fine. But when you get on the gas(try to boost), the turbo's spool to 0psi on the boost gauge and stay there. Because of this the engine trips over itself and chugs and bawgs. I'll try and get a vid up showing exactly what is happening. I have a "home depot" boost controller and no matter what I set it at the car still does this. If you have any ideas or want to help, please respond to this thread or pm me.
Thanks,
Andrew

Well hopefully that will be taken care of when I return in the spring.

But about the pre-contorl door, i dont understand what you mean. Your supposed to chop it out and weld the hinge, are you not? Exhaust manifold is completely open.

Well. I took off the downpipe and hooked up my compressor to the hose from the turbo to wastegate. Put my finger on the flapper door and it works fine. So its nothing wrong with the wastegate. Took out turbos, they look fine. So its gotta be somewhere else. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to start pressure testing the fuel lines and my Walbro fuel pump should be in in a couple days.
Thanks,
Andrew

I had a secondary injector stuck and the car wouldn't let me boost.
did you have you injectors cleaned? if they sit too long after cleaning they can get stuck.
limp mode. car wouldn' rev past 4k -4.5k...can't remember.
put 12V to your injectors make sure they all click.

You should be able to build between 1-3 lbs then the car will fall on its face and do nothing. It goes into "safety mode". I am willing to bet it is the injectors. If your car is non-seq it should take no time to pull them out.
Good Luck

Thanks guys. I do have one more question though. If the charcoal canister had a problem and wasn't operating right, could that cause a problem causing the car to go into limp mode?
Thanks,

I had the same problem. Try this, take it out and floor it. If is doesn't build boost let off and step on it again quickly. when I did this is gave full boost. Found out that I needed to take out the pre-control solenoid along with the wastegate solenoid that I already took out.
