non-sequential boost question

midpipe
downpipe
all emissions removed
full non-sequential twins
ported wastegate
stock ecu
stock intake
stock cat back

small exhaust leak

I am wondering i am only boostin 5 to 6 lbs wich is no biggie till i upgrade the ecu.
But shouldn't i b boostin a lil more what could b the culprit herei have no boost controller. but i was under the impression that i was going to get a little creep not b running low boost any suggestions? could it be the pill in the vacume line for the wastegate actuator? any suggestions would b great.

my idle 600 rpm
ing or vacume is at 15 at idle

No, you have a boost leak. Start at the turbos and work your way to the throttle body. Who did the full non-seq conversion?

The stock BOV rarely goes bad, but you can troubleshoot it using Section F of the FSM. Like I asked above, who did the non-seq conversion? Perhaps there is a problem with that.

Have you actually removed all the couplers and carefully checked for splits. You cannot rely on just a visual inspection.

what rynberg said....i had a problem like yours and took the couplers off and looked at them, still wasn't fix...took them off again and really look at them ...replaced the stock bov hose(it was split were it connects to the y-pipe)
and also replaced the y-pipe couplers ( it was also split) but didnt look like it...the first time...try to stretch out the couplers...
