TBE install. Now no boost?

[ms6bb0y]

Hey guys,

Did a tbe install this week and flashed to Cobb ap stage 2. Problem is I'm getting no boost whatsoever. I've already been told to check wastegate actuator and vacuum lines for boost leak. Thus far I have not tripped a CEL. Do you guys have any other recommendations? Thanks

So what did you find when you checked the WGA and hoses? Sounds like you fubar'd the install and need to go back and find out where it went wrong.....

i havent checked them yet. just wanted to hear some other ideas before getting off of work.

exhaust leak? i found i could'nt re-use the stock gaskets because they were shot.

i didn't get much of a chance to check it out last night. will do some spot checking today after work. i used new gaskets supplied with the DP and it seems to be holding well. i have checked the hoses for the tmic, sri, and the ones that go to the wga. seems to all be secure. nothing seems to be blocking the action of the wga.

im wondering if i didnt retighten the bolts on the Vband clamp or exhaust mani tight enough, i was definitely cautious and applied necessary torque to each bolt that i worked on... but i better recheck.

on a related topic... would anyone suggest that i should get new exhaust hangers (rubber insulators) for my magnaflow cbe? i am trying to reuse the stock hangers, but am having trouble mounting the ones for the mufflers. trying to not have the exhaust tips rest on the plastic bumper.

a leak would not cause no boost if it was behind the turbo.
Can you hear any leaks? they are very noticable.
