Ok,
review.
Turbo chopped up some shit.
destroyed compressor blade, and had to replace turbo.
boost was weak as hell, and took forever to build.
everyone told me it was bad and my valves were bent and all kinds of stuff, but i was for sure it was the intercooler,
so i replaced it, and now, Problem gone.

apparently the chopped up pieces of whatever got caught into the intercooler and was blocking air flow, my exhaust many would not glow no matter what i would do, gas mileage sucked, boost was slow and took forever to build, and peaked at 6 psi.

now gas is back to normal, boost will hit 8 psi, then i can hear a boost leak, and boost comes on fast and doesnt give up till it makes me say uncle.

now just find the boost leak, put on my 3" turbo back,
and im in business ;)
