Ok so the other day i installed the evo3 16g in the gsx, and today did the fuel pump and injectors. Did a fresh oil change and took it out for a drive. I didnt hit any boost whatsoever. The boost gauge stays at -30 at idle and when u hit the gas right up to 0psi and thats where it stays. I get back and adjust the mbc to have more boost, still nothing. I checked the coolant lines and oil lines to the turbo, it was getting the proper fluids. Then i took off the cold air intake to make sure the turbo was spinning and it was, even checked the shaft play to make sure i didnt mess anything up and that was fine. Took it out and decided to just tach it out anyway. About 4500 RPMS into it the boost started going up by maybe 5000 i was sittin at 7psi and then i let off. With the t25 i had the mbc going to the wastegate and then the nipple on the turbo housing. Since the evo3 didnt have that nipple i just re did it like on vfaq t-ing it off on the blow off valve hose. Im going to do a boost leak test tomorrow, but i doubt it will do much good. With the t25 you could hear it spooling up from a mile away. This one you cant hear anything but can sort of hear the psst of the blow off valve after letting off the gas. I was under the impression that i should have full boost somewhere around 3k rpms. Sorry for the long story but i just wanted to get everything out that ive tryed. Thanks in advance
