No Boost! Help please

[540eclipsers97]

I finally got my gsx started today. The timing is off and there are a few vacuum lines that aren't hooked up. Anyway, I noticed that it idles like it is cammed and when you push the clutch in it tries to die. I got it to run long enough to drive down the street and I noticed I only made 1psi of boost. Could either of those two problems cause it not to boost at all and to stumble when the clutch is depressed?

Hook up your vacume lines and fix timing, then come back. A boost leak would definitely cause that.

While a boost leak could be the cause of your rough idle and wanting to die, the boost issue could also be made by a pre-turbo exhaust leak. For pete sake finish getting the car in proper running order, IE hook up your vacuum lines and redo your timing. Then, do a boost leak test.

Thats my plan for tomorrow. It shouldn't have any boost leaks because I just installed upper and lower ic pipes, a new intercooler, and a mbc.

Boost leak test will tell you for sure

A common spot to leak from is the throttle body. Just because you installed pipes doesn't mean other parts go bad.

Because you just installed those things ,... It will probably have a boost leak , Also make sure your wg is hooked up ..Do a boost leak test

All indications point to a boost leak. A large boost leak.
