Low boost
 

Seems like my boost is too low lots of smoke even on 3x3 on edge comp what's the easiest way to find if its leaking somewhere if you look at my sig it should jump to 30 I think easy unless the gauge is wrong or hooked up wrong thanks

You need to check for boost leaks and go from there.

Thanks ghostman I'm trying to make something up to pump some air into the turbo than get some soapy water in a bottle I can't find the link anywhere

look up DIY boost leak tester. I know on another forum I am on there are a ton of DIY articles on the subject.

Boost
 

Ok I made a boost leak tester using a small 12v air pump can't get past 6 lbs don't hear anything leaking the rubber boot swells up a little going to run to friends house tomorrow for his bigger compressor I've seen video of people doing it with small pumps maybe I'm doing something wrong? Seems pretty straight foward I even had a bottle of soapy water ready tomorrow's another day

Couldn't wait
 

Went out with soapy water in a spray bottle got big bubbles while idling truck on boot right below turbo I also turned in my adjustable elbow some going to get a new adjustable elbow this one is real hard to turn got to cold I'll tighten that boot up tomorrow see what happens

You need to at least get it up to 20 lbs of air.

I used a 12v tire pump thought it would be enough unless the leak is bigger than I realize could the waste gate be a problem is an hx 35

All good
