No boost, massive power loss

[2gTSIFZone]

okay guys I got a brand new 98 eclipse gst. to me anyways when I got the car at the stock rubber blow off valve had been ripped in half and the previous owner attempted to electrical tape it back in place... the motor runs fine but when I get to about 3000 rpm I lose all power going to the motor. after replacing the stock blow off valve with a aftermarket 1 it still is doing the same thing... I'm not sure what it is but as soon as I hit for spool all my powers is missing... when I do hit full boost it almost sounds like the waste gate opening as soon as the turbos fully spooled... Working on a blt kit

Have you done a boost leak test on it? Also have you verified that the wastegate actuator is attached to the arm on the turbine housing?

fix your leaks and it will run perfect guaranteed

I think my wastegate might just be trash I went to take the car for a try to get new tires put on it... I noticed that when my turbo spools that my stock boost gauge would almost snapped the needle off at the top and by about 3200 rpm... Yet its still not going as fast as it should, nor does it have anywhere near enough power

Boost leak test that thing man listen to people on here, and get a 1g bov those are one of the best bov you can get. check your turbo for shaft play.
