Just put a used 14b on my car today and noticed that the turbine housing was cracked on the inlet. I hooked everything up and the car runs pretty strong, it just won't push any boost. Not even 1psi. Could the turbine housing be the main cause of this? :confused:
 
have you checked the wastegate to make sure it is working properly and doesn't have a broken spring? or if the vacuum line to your boost gauge has come loose
 
I would check to see that the wastegate on the turbo isn't sticking wide open and loosing all of your pressure. A little crack in the housing won't cause it to lose all pressure but some.
 
Problem fixed. Although I'm not quite sure what fixed it. I just drove it for an hour or so really easy, like nothing over 55MPH and gave the turbo time to get back into the groove since it hasn't been ran in awhile. After about an hour, it felt a little stronger from starts, so I gave it some gas and it started boosting.

Thanks for the help though, and I'll give rep. points for those who tried to help :thumb:
