I dont even know where to begin. I just finished putting my head back together and bern driving my car for about 20 dats. Car ran fine, spool'd fine, no issues. Monday, went to take off down the road and my car will not boost at all... boost gauge levels out at -0+ and wont build boost. Unhooked the wastegate (internal) and wont build boost. Tighten my MBC all the way, wont build boost. Did a BLT, holds 40 psi great and was tested with tester on my turbo inlet and throttle open. Biss was leaking before but fixed it. Im at my wits end and on the verge of selling the car. It runs and drives GREAT if I dont try to go into boost. A little while ago, I took it for one more drive down my road and I got to 5 psi with the WG unhooked and it sounded like my car has a open dump pipe.... the sound is that loud... is this signs of a bad turbo? I really dont know
Also want to note that when the car finally built up the 5psi... I was at 6800 rpms.

I have a feeling the turbo is done for but its not smoking at all. I do however have a good amount of fresh oil in my upper I/C piping. So is it safe to assume I need a new turbo?
