Ok so i just recently got this problem, after a friend an I fixed a small boost leak around the seals of my 1G BOV. anyway, i was boostin fine to about 13 psi then it would fall off around 5500 like the T25 typically does but my question is as soon as we fixed the boost leak my car ran great for a day held strong to 15 psi, then i didnt drive it for a day or two and now i cant boost past 3-4 psi. I pulled all the plumbing starting with the LICP goin up no leaks, i hear the turbo spoolin hard and a slight noise from my BOV meaning it is gettin soem pressure through it? any ideas what can be causing me to only have 3-4 psi i want te power of my turbo back help me please :cry:

Also at WOT i hear the turbo spooling like it used to just only seeing minimal boost
 
First list your mods

Are you using a manual boost contoller?
The stock boost controller will limit boost to 12 psi under full throttle

If you are using a manual boost controller, make sure the line coming from the turbo to the MBC is secured, and the line from the bov to the intake manifold is secured properly.
 
Thanks for the response but i didnt post my mods because it is all in my profile and also i dont think its the bov because i do have a first gen bov and its not that my boost isnt going up i hear the turbo goin like its at 15 psi but my aftermarket boost gauge says 3 psi and thats how it feels. also i should only hit 15psi cause like in my profile says i did the bcs mod nah i dont have a manual boost controller yet
 
Any help or suggestions? Is their anyone in or around rochester with a compressor that can help me do a boost leak test cause i'm at school now and didnt exactly bring my compressor and leak tester with me.
