is your boost guage broken.. are you super sure there are no leaks, I thought the same thing turns my pipe blew off the compressor, was faced down near the ground on the teg so i didnt see it at first

are you sure the spring in the wg isnt messed up.. have you tried to adjust the mbc.. i mean yea it should be set at 0 stock unless someone was messing with the screw

well i dont know about the 0 stuff, becuase I only turned mine like 2.5times and went from 6 to 10.5

so who knows

how do you have the tial set up with the mbc

do you have a good seal on everything, keep checking it out

Is your turbo spinning?

best time so far 14.3 @ 101.1mph(no traction)
fastest 2GNT with a hitch! until proven wrong...

There are a couple kinds of leaks that can cause somthing like this. A boost leak somewhere bwtween the compressor outlet and the TB...or an exhaust leak between the head and the turbine inlet.

If it was a MAP sensor "leak"(or any other leak after the TB like a vac hose or the TB gasket or the intake manifold gasket) it would actually cause a vaccuum leak and you'd have higher idle. Hows your idle?

This all started one day when you had a spike and suspected the Deltagate right? Then just whent ahead and replaced it. Start from that day - could you explain what hapened in more detail. Maybe that would help.
