    what size -AN line are you running. I had a similar problem and I went from a 4 to a 3 and that restricted the flow. They have it at Summits. Good luck either way

    So i went ahead and just took it to a shop. Apperently whoever put this car together did a lousy job. first and foremost, i was told the clearences were off in the turbo and some of seal was in backwards. the guy who put together the tubo for me had tons of experience rebuilding turbos, and when i told him that a seal was in backwards he said that there were no seals to put in backwards. so i dont know. then there was like a 30 pound spring in the wastegate, and it was supposed to be tuned on just 4 pounds. and the vacume line that opens the wastegate was a steal braided one, but there was no rubber tube on the inside! so it did nothing! the spring in my bov was way too stiff, and all of the other vacume lines were too small. i feel like there was more but i cant remember. but thanks for all of the responses. they were greatly appreciated
