New to the forum.
I said the same thing on the FB page
"The only way to get it all to clear," replied the previous owner
But hey, if it worked for someone...well, not that it makes any difference now. The OP can just spend a bunch of dosh replacing everything.

There are 4 things that could be wrong.
Exhaust gas is getting around the turbine somehow (wastegate issue)
Turbine isn't spinning the compressor wheel (interference, too much backpressure)
Boost is escaping between the compressor and head (intake leaks)
Compressor isn't producing boost.
Check all those things and you will have your answer.

we know the compressor is producing boost but its because the turbine isnt getting enough heat/air.
I removed the dp and still no boost with load
I do need to check the IM to make sure there isnt a massive leak however the car runs fine so I dont feel as though thats the culprit. WG flapper isnt cracked or chipped.

When the line was connected it opened up and introduced unmetered air so the car would stall . BOV IS NO LONGER IN THE SYSTEM.

Its not producing boost over 1psi but it is above 0. I connected the maf directly to the TB and held my hand over the outlet of the compressor and could feel significant volume from it just not alot. it was like a little heater with a blower on it

Have you tried pressure testing from the turbo inlet? Just hook up a coupler to a Schrader valve on it? Otherwise it may be cost effective just replacing the turbo with a similar version

How about 200whp (under 10k)?
SuperMiata Whammy Race Engine Used
For serious, 150whp is obtainable with a 1.8swap with some mods. Probably even without a turbo

your missing the point here. lol Though I did see they had that motor used for like $3800 200whp
Once i figure that rats nest of ball sack than I will go with a MS rx7 injectors and up the boost to make around 200 whp.

No chipped fins on the tarbo? How can you increase the boost if there's no boost to increase?
