Default no power but im at 16 psi?

ok, i bought an agp wastegate and i put it on got it tuned to 16 dropping to 13 at redline. i took out the black line and ran the green from the turbo to the wastegate with the bleed. but my car is soo slow, it doesnt pull half as hard as it used to?? i dont understand it doesnt seem tohave any leaks andi just changed my oil today along with a new filter. still slow. i have no clue what to do now im going to buy new spark plugs and wires to see if that helps but does anybody have any suggestions?

So what you saying is. Not to have any "White Tee's" in line with any of the hoses or lines on the car? Does this cause a boost leak or what?

Bleed's or bleeders are BAD!! It is used to reduce the boost that thecomputer see's, thus allowing the turbo to overboost. This may sound good until your engine blows apart. If the computer doesn't read the actual boost it won't add enough fuel for all the added air your putting in there and it will lean out and then comes detonation and the need for a new engine.

the reason that your ptb is so bad is because of that stupid bleed. it causes to high a spike. if you want to reduce ptb throw on a mbc.

this link should help you build a boot leak tester http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.html

alright thanks, does anybody know why its sputtering and dieing out when in boost? maybe no fuel imspiking 16 pounds with no fuel upgrades on right nowif that helps. it dies out then kicks in real hard and pulls all the way to redline with no prob.
