hit 20psi but it felt like no boost

[dsm1212]

just like the title says gauge says 20 but it does not feel like it at all wasn't trying to hit boost either because its a crappy tune that is getting done professionaly tomorrow and dynoed, i was just driving around seeing if i would be able to make it to the shop.

You're probably getting a ton of knock. The amount of timing your computer can pull can make it feel like you left your turbo at home.

you may have a boost leak on the coupler before the throttle body, I'm not sure if the sensor would pick that up but it's possible.

Yea, you need to get some thing to monitor your car to see what is happing to it. Once you can log it you can turn it up.

ya i know i am trying to be able to monitor it. but my logger is being stupid. I have had my 650's laying around for about a month and my 17psi actuator so last night i decided to put them on. then after i put them on i find out my logger wont stay connected and so now i don't know what i should do. should i just take it some place to get it tuned? or take the actuator off again, and wait until i get my logger running right. wait well then i would have to take my injectors off too this is a pain in the A$$

i also just had my timing belt replaced could that have anything to do with it?

well i just got my logger to work (lots of time talking to the guys at pocketlogger) and its finaly running again getting 19s/sec. the only thing is i was trying to get a base tune with my logger off of the fuel trims (nate is helping me with the the wiseman with the spyder) but my stft just sits at 4 no matter what and my ltft is always at 12 so i don't know whats going on there. and sitting there idling my timing was fluctuating from 7-12. im kinda scared to take the car out and drive it i think i should probably take that actuator off tomorrow, and start out smaller.
