Top Mount Turbo Install And Now Have No Boost

Hey guys,

I've recently installed a top mount turbo kit I purchased off eBay a while ago (2nd hand).

Since I've installed the kit I have no boost, it's an oil feed only turbo with a 46mm external wastegate, I've plugged the water lines up and doesn't leak.

I've put the manual boost controller between the turbo and side nipple on the wastegate.

I have the fitting on the top of the wastegate venting to atmosphere and just plugged up the vacuum port that goes to inlet manifold.

I've unplugged the boost solinoid and taken it out (plug just sitting there)

I was set to believe the setup was running 19 psi, I have the stock ecu in at the moment till I can get the apexi. Wastegate spring too high?

The boost gauge is not boosting past 0

Beside all that I have touched anything else :/

Any help would be good.

I haven't tested the piping on the inter cooler but will tonight, it's a t3/t4 eBay ones.

I would be able to feel it/hear it if it was the inter cooler piping???

It's got nothing. I gave it a boot full and still no turbo, I checked the intercooler piping 2wice before starting up :/

Could it be the standard solenoid as I have just unplugged it?

Also because the wastegate is set to 19psi?

When I give it a good revving and back it off the wastegate isn't doing anything.

Well, it would have to be opened a fair way to not allow any boost so I don't think it's your problem. Is it vented to atmosphere? If it is it is (!) heaps obvious if it is open a little or a lot. (Most if it and is in sentence!)

In this order are my guesses.

Dead or dud turbo

Boost leak.
