  S14 SR20DET CANT BOOST!!!! WTF? NEED HELP PLZZZZ now with video


so i drive to work yesterday and it was fine and i parked it all day and after work i go to drive and it feels like it is misfiring while it idles. i drive off and once the car started to boost it started to shake hop and struggle to move. i checked the coil packs everything is fine there....i checked to make sure the fuel injectors where plugged in all the way (thats happend to me b4) it was fine....i checked all the boots and clamps on my piping from turbo to intake...no leaks...checked the vac lines....no links.... im lost now and i have no idea where to go from this.
any input is helpful

how are you checking for leaks? are you just doing a visual test?

Several things to check:
- Run a pressure test on the hot pipe system. Disconnect the piping at the turbo and at the throttle body. Cap off both ends. One of the caps would have a pressure gauge and an air valve stem to apply air. Pressurize the system and watch the gauge; there should be no leakdown.
- Attach a vacuum gauge to the hot pipe. While motor is idling, measure the vacuum. The reading should be around 18-20 InHg.
- Make sure blow-off valve and waste gate is working correctly.

i will make sure to try that...also i just noticed 2 mins ago that my BOV (which is an ebay type RS "greddy".... ) only have one nipple but the real greddy has two one on the top and one under thats at about a 45deg angle....i feel air getting sucked through there now which i never noticed or heard before....i put my finger there to block it but i didnt notice a change.....and i dont happen to have another one laying around and i dont wanna buy one just in case its not the problem...how and i check to see if thats the problem or not???

See if your blowoff valve is leaking air out when it should be holding boost

Read my post about using a vacuum gauge. Read the gauge while pushing on the BOV; if the reading changes a lot, the BOV is leaking.

That bov is most def the problem.

If it is sucking in Air through the BOV..Then that is UNMETERED AIR which your Airflow sensor has NOT accounted for, therefore your air/fuel ratio is going to be ****ED because the engine is getting more air than the computer is reading, and its mixing the improper amount of fuel.
