Has anyone had problems w/ 0 boost?

If so what was the problem? After I did the hose job I'm getting no boost. I triple checked all the hoses and solinoids but still can't find the problem. I removed the throttle butterflies hence I disconnected the solinoid for the double throttle and plugged up the nipples. could that be the problem?

No, plugging up the solenoid for the Double throttle control won't have any affect on boost control. I know because I have it set up this way.

Have you visited this site yet? There is extensive information there on how to diagnose the entire boost control system.

I would check that you don't have a hose loose causing a bad leak. these are sometimes very hard to find. I have chased this problem before. make sure all hoses are on straight and are tight.

It is odd that you have no boost at all. Does it feel like there is on power by the seat of the pants? If it was a small hose that was not connected you would still have some boost it would just bleed off fast I think. Does the boost guage show vacuum?
