RB25det.... I was running 120 yesterday and my brakes went out.... nightmare. Turns out my brake booster line came off of my intake manifold and i was lost all vaccum. I put that back on and obviously it was barely on for quite some time and my car started running nice. Well with the vaccum being fixed i was getting my full boost at 16lbs. It ran good for a few miles and then sounded like i was losing boost so I checked my standalone and everything was reading normal there. My boost gauge then said I was pulling 6 PSI. It sounds like the boost is going no where when spooling and no response to the engine. Do you think my wastegate could be stuck open or a bad seal or something elsewhere? The motor is fully built and all my sensor reading are good on my power fc so I know everything is checking up. It sounds and seems like it is a turbo problem...also whenever I give it gas the turbo (with the sound of the leak) sounds like it is not spooling smooth. it is kind of sputtering.
