Wastegate stuck open? Not making boost.
 
Finally got to take my FD for a drive. I don't seem to be making positive boost, according to the peak boost my PFC commander.

This is my first time driving a single turbo FD or a car with a dump pipe.

I think I can hear my waste gate opening at about half throttle, which seems too early.

The turbo is a TD06-25 with a Trust external wastegate that should be set for 0.8 bar, but also has an HKS EVC 5. I may have had the boost turned all the way down, but it should have still made 0.8 bar because of the spring unless the wastegate is stuck open.



Any ideas?

Never mind.... intercooler pipe had just popped off the turbo.
