See if you can pull the code.

Turbos really dont "activate" Exhaust flows into it and it spins, its not like it doesnt kick on till a certain RPM.

Silly question, but turbos are normally shipped with caps, they did remove the caps correct?

I'll try to get the code as soon as possible, but I will mention the caps to my mechanic also I drove the car once the turbo once installed, and it just revs all the up goes through all the gears with no boost.
