It's on a 3000GT but same deal, I put it on 180 degrees backwards and went from boosting at 30psi to 2. Even after I put it back in right. What did it break? Comp is 155 on all 6. Timing is dead on. Engine was even rebuilt, and turbos rebuilt. Same problem.
 
Make sure to check all of your boost source's for leaks. Also if the timing was 180 off check your plugs for fouling really bad or even to be closed. I had a friend who couldn't boost more than 2-3 psi and it ended up being a closed spark plug. I'm sure you check them when you compression tested but I thought I would throw that out. Also unhook your battery for about 10-15 minutes and your ECU then plug them back in and start the car. It might have to relearn some stuff from running so bad it probobly tried to advance and retard timing so much that it messed itself up.
 
turned out one of the 14bs was blown, so it would stall and allow the compressed air from teh good 14b to come out it's inlet.
