Question rewards for all my work!!... 0 psi! S*$t

Well it's gotta be somthing easy/stupid! Here is a quick recap of the work performed. Engine pulled, lightweight FW and new ACT clutch, HKS downpipe, Greddy FMIC, SR radiator, Silicon hose job, new DT solenoid (on the rats rack) new check valves, new coolant lines,(all 14), new engine mounts,oil pan gasket, new knock sensor, new plugs,new rear main oil seal, turbo timer, apex gt catback, thats all i can remember right now. Before the work i had full 10 psi on the primary turbo, and 5 psi on the secondary. I now have absolutley no boost!! (crap!!) idle is perfect, pulls steady 20 vaccum. revs cleanly just no boost. when I rev up over 4k and let off the throotle, I get a wierd farting sound!(medium to high pitched ) like air is trapped and trying to get out. I kinda smell fuel vapors when the noise is made. It happens about 1-3 secs after you cut throttle. This is the most likley cause as it did not make this noise before that i remember. ANYONE heard this noise before? I've tried the vaccum test of backing off ,getting vaccum, and stomping back on the gas. Still no boost. I can hear the turbo start to spool and then no boost. Boost gauge just barely climbs off of 0. I've checked over all the hoses I can see but can't see any obvious problems. Please help me think of things to troubleshoot, my brain is friggin fried!! Thanks guys sorry for the long post !

Almost sounds like you might not have the intercooler pipes connected somewhere. Something in the intake tract would be my guess.

thats what i thought but all clamps are tight I don't here boost escaping it just isn't getting there. It's like there is a big plug in the intake, except that it wouldn't idle or rev with a blockage that was big enough to stop boost
