Ok so I just put on a new Garret turbo becasue the Turbonectics one that came with it finally blew. So me and my friend took off the old one and in about 3 hours installed the new Garret turbo. My frined owns a runs his own custom car shop /9 360 designs) and has alot of nice tuner cars and knows what hes doing. He has worked on the TopSecret GTR and many other high end cars including many DSMs. Well i was brekain it in the first day not running over 4 psi just for safe measures and now i cannot seem to get past 2 psi, i did a boost leak check but it still it not getting any boost. i did another leak test the next day and found nothing, the only thing that i can think of is that i have the vaccum lines comming off the boost controller / bov / intake manifold mixed up some how so i was wondering if anyone with a boosted 420a can tell me how the lines are supposed to go? pictures would be very nice also.

any help is appreciated if you need more details just ask.
 
do you have fuel pressure? maybe a line is popped off your fpr. also maybe check to see if you have a vac leak. spray wd40/pb blaster on all your vacuums and listen for rpm change and/or stall
