1993 mazda mx6 4 cylinder
I hooked up a t3 garret turbo with a tial wastegate, xspower bov, manual boost controller, aem boost gauge) only has down pipe ( didnt weld the rest of the exhaust yet)
tested while car is on jacks...DID NOT DO A ROAD TEST
Problems...
1. boost gauge only reads vacume..the higher the rpm the higher the vacume..at idle it reads 0..at 5000rpm it reads 20 (in vacume)

2. we can see the bov working but its makes no noise

3. when we took off the pipes to see in the turbo is even pushing air while reving it..I think i can blow harder than the turbo it blowing..the wheel is spinning though and we hear it getting louder as we rev but the air coming out isnt that strong.

4. manual boost controller makes no difference at all
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR ANY OF THIS..I think the boost gauge wont show any actual boost until we get it on the road but my friends say i am wrong
