Default repost/slighty more add: No boost problem...
From what I heard in my prev. post a failed BPV would throw a CEL, which is not something that has happened. My problem is that past 3k rpm I have no gain i power gains at all, so I assuming I am not getting any boost. How can I tell if its a failed turbo or something else?

Default make a makeshift boost gage...
all u need is a T, some tubing and you could prolly cut up a tiure gage and make one that will tell you if you're getting boost.
