Someone please help me! I have done everything in my power. I think I have a boost leak. I can only get 5-6 psi max. I should be getting 10 psi. The car is fine till about 3500 rpm, or if I get on the throttle hard. Someone told me it was my second turbo. I replaced it and it does the same thing. I checked all my fittings for boost leaks. Also, I have a new engine from aspec. Can someone please help? My moms accord is faster!. [/Revised edition]

So, are you saying that you only ever get 5-6 psi at any RPM, or 10 psi before 3500 RPM and 5-6 afterwards?
