When your car should pull, does it seem like its redlined almost the whole time?
If so, then look at the clutch.
A proper thing to do is a Boost leak test. Just make sure all your air pressure actually stays in the pipes.
Do a test, or come back with some more details.
 
Deffinatly do a boost leak test. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/new...se-troubleshoot-boost-leak-tester-merged.html

Attach it to the TB first, pressurize the system to 20-25psi (if you can), spray soapy water all over everything. If you see bubbles, there is a leak. If you hear rushing air, there is a leak somewhere.

Common leak points. Throttle body shaft seals and gaskets, intake manifold gasket, injector seals, disconnected or cracked vacuum lines. Once those are fixed, move it to the turbo and check to see if your BOV is leaking, IC and j-pipe gasket.

Be sure that your PVC is good by blowing into it. It shouldn't allow your to blow air in through the nipple end. If you can, it's bad and you need to buy an OEM unit. If it leaks, pinch the PVC line shut during the test.

Anything that see vacuum or positive air can leak. Spray everything that see it.


Post back with results.
 
well could the pvc hose bein tore up cause a boost leak cuase mines a lil tore up but my pvc is fine?
 
Do a boost leak test as you most likely have more than just a single torn hose. Gaskets, seals, couplers and lines are at least 11 years old now assuming they have never been changed. Without doing a boost leak test then you don't know what other problems you have with faulty/damaged parts.
