Cannot build boost pressure.

Cannot build boost pressure.
I'm currently experiencing no boost. I was experiencing no boost with my stock ecu, and still currently experiencing no boost with my microtech.
The problem first occured when I swapped injectors. So i'm guessing the problem is related to the removal of the upper intake manifold and the areas around it.
All vacuum lines are in place, boost gauge reads vacuum pressure at around -20.
My car will not build boost at all, it will drive fine, but at WOT it just falls on its face.

Boost presuure test the whole system FIRST. i beleive we went over this in your other thread (maybe not, someone else). This would eliminate 75% of your questions. If something leaks fix it. If nothing leaks, ckeck the wastegate. FIRST thing i would do is check the wastegate and see if the actuator rod is still hooked up to the flapper. If it is still hooked up, slowly slide the rod off and see if the flapper is hanging open. This may sound a little "rough" but once you see/do it its not. If you follow these steps, in about an hour you should be able to narrow down 99% of your options.

The problem is that "not building boost" isnt descriptive enough of your problems.
can you free rev it to redline? [yes/no]?
when driving, and you floor it, does it hat a wall the moment boost tries to build?[yes\no]
when driving and you dont floor it, can you slowly bring it to redline?[yes/no]
is your intake filter clean?[yes\no]
are your spark plugs clean and new?[yes\no]
are your fuel injectors flow balanced and tested?[yes\no]
answer ALL of these questions and then get back to us.

i sort of have the same issue except my car builds boost. the boost guage goes up to maybe 3 psi? and it will rev to red line albeit has the 3800 rpm cut. it just feels like the car isnt going any where. the blow off valve blows off but the car feels almost na. im gonna try checking fuel filter and fuel pump, and gas tank because the car runs some what better not by much tho at the top end. it bucks quite a bit as well
