OK I cant take it anymore??? I only can get 8 psi HELP!

OK, I did the hose job, checked all the hoses for leaks, I even tried poormans conversion to Non sequential. I still only get 8 PSI max boost I have never seen anything higher?? Could my waste gate be bad? Someone please give me a list of trouble shooting for this. I have been to all the sites with Troubleshooting with no luck tried it all.

Any Ideas will be great.

Thanks

Well the first obvious question is going to be, did you swap over the boost pills from the wastegate and precontrol line?

You must have swapped the pills. I installed the home depot valves to have better control.

Sorry I haven't checked back in a few days. Anyway, swappign pills should not have that big an impact on boost levels. The pill oriffices are different, but not enough to lose all that boost.

Another question would be, what boost we you running before the hose job?

If it changed after you did the hoses then you may have routed something wrong. Believe me it's easy with 63 hoses to choose from. I have done no less than 10 FD's and I had problems once and a while. Looking things over always revealed soemthing I over looked.

I am not sure of my boost prior, because I did not have a boost gauge.
