Culprit found!! Zero boost issue sorted out......

as we figured, my upper intercooler samco came off it's connection. As you can see in the pic the clamp and red samco is not hooked up with the black pipe as it should be.... issue will be resolved upon re-connect. Nothing like having no boost and being able to be dusted by Rav 4s and Yugos.... want to see how nice your car is? Disconnect that turbo hose and go for a drive. 0 boost vs 23 lbs of boost is a MAJOR deal!

Both times mine came off I couldn't go above 0 without the car stalling
That was a major challenge the second time when it was the same connection as yours and I was 10 miles from home.
I blame myself because I didn't have T-Bolt Clamps that fit. Still working on that. Looks like you probably should too.
But it's a good sign, your car is just making too much power!!!

you should look into getting T-bolts at ECS tuning...pricing is less than
hose techniques and they look like they're the same t-bolts.
hose techniques = $6.95
ECS tuning = $3.95
get them for all your turbo connections, including MAF. you'll be in much better shape then....peace of mind...plus they look nice.
