My t25 took a dump on me 2 days after buying a Talon so I wanted to do some upgrades. I did these upgrades all posted below and installed the new big 16g and started the car just to make so I wasnt having the same issue as I was before with a blown t25. The car idled after a little squeeking from the oily belts. But it idled. :) I gave a little throttle to check to see if it was making boost and it was NOT. :-/ I searched and searched, I checked and checked (vaccum lines, leaks, fluids, etc etc) and no luck. So here I am..

95 Talon Tsi Awd 7 Bolt with

Exhaust headers, Apex 3in downpipe, megan 3 inch exhaust, ported o2, aftermarket whatever uic pipping, SAFCII, stock injectors(evo560'a not installed yet), stock pump, (255 not installed yet), autometer boost, oil press gauges, Halman MBC(8-10 psi on my troubleshooting start up),Blitz turbo timer, dejon style Intake Pipe, KN filter, new upstream 02, Big 16G, 16G install kit, hacked oil return pipe, Free mods-honey combs out, screw backed flush, and can't think of anything else right now.

So the issue is What am I missing? Did I overlook something to check on why I am not producing boost?
Side Note I had a lil exhaust back fire..Not sure how in the world I would be running rich on 450's with a big16g. But anyways I believe that is all the info I can think of as of right now. If more info is needed I will be checking this every few hours of the day for the next few days. Thanks in Advance and I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong area.
 
Allshallperish.......you sir, are a blooming idiot.

Never mind...I see you have a little red chicklet ....please continue

Lol...I believe AllShallPerish has checked out. After this little dispute he left a bunch of obscenities on my profile wall, one of which stated I was a rapist OMG. Luckily, he appears to have abandoned his account. As you can see above, he also deleted his posts denying the fact that what I have been trying to explain to him is actually correct (don't worry though, they are still hyperlinked in my posts if you want to read them ;) ). I definitely do not claim to be any turbo expert, but calling the OP ignorant for not knowing about turbo operation when in fact he was giving wrong information is ridiculous. To the OP, just know under normal circumstances your turbo will not produce boost revving in neutral. I believe the road test you did confirmed this for you, and hopefully you are all good now.
 
but calling the OP ignorant for not knowing about turbo operation.

Ummmmm you seem to be forgetting that the OP is/was ignorant of turbo operation. Also that other guy may not have been an expert engineer (like you), however he certainly did have the basic fundamentals down.

This is a definition of Ignorant from the dictionary...

"lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics."

So all that started because someone was correct in calling the OP ignorant.

Interesting
 
Thanks for all the posts. I obviously need to do a lot more research and studying how a turbo and its components work. Hopefully in my next post I will know a little more about the overall system.

Thanks to everyone that tried to help and inform me of correct information.
