1psi on 1st turbo, 5psi on 2nd... Grr.

Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong with my setup? I have the silicon vacuum line & tiewrap job done, but I'm only seeing about 1psi on the 1st turbo and 5-6psi on the 2nd turbo. This sux.

I have no idea, but it could be a boost leak... just one idea.. depends what you have checked.. There will probably be a ton of people though that will say it's not possible for the secondary turbo to even spool with only 1 psi coming off of the primary..

That's what has me confused. I think there's some wastegate door that might be stuck open. Like the little lever came unfastened from the actuator arm or something. But I'm not sure. I guess I'll have to rip some stuff out and take a look at it
