Have 2g. Mods are exhuast, greddy piping, greddy type s bov, 16g turbo.

Car builds boost, i hear the turbo and see the boost going up, but the car does not move, it feels almost like N/A. Now most pople would say boost leak but if it is, it must be a major one and i checked all my piping, they are all good. All tight, metal pipes, so no holes. I am going to do a boost leak test anyway, but do you guys have any idea if it anything other than boost leak?
 
Maybe your clutch is slipping. I thought the same thing on my car and it ended up being my clutch. Do you smell any sort of odors coming from your car after boosting? Mine would build boost and my rpms would go up fast but I wouldn't move. I could drive normal on it as long as I didn't go into boost. Once I was in boost, the clutch would slip like mad. Just an idea..

Same exact situation for my car...started building boost and car was not moving according to RPM. I am about to order a new clutch/flywheel.
