There are a few different causes for boost problems on the FD. None of us can readily tell you what is wrong. you'll have to do some troubleshooting to figure it out.

Start by going to the 3rd gen FAQ thread (stickied in this forum)
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/
scroll down to the T section where you will find this link:
http://www.autosportracetech.com/RX-...erOverview.htm
Read the information on that site and perform the tests they specify. That should help you figure out the problem.

You may need some solenoids also. They often break trying to get the hoses off. Check out the thread in the FAQ about replacing the vac lines and precautions to take.
