turbo trouble

[carlosdevil10]

hi , im from guatemala, sorry about my english. my problem is that i cant get boost, my boost gauge only remains in 0. could it be that my turbo doesn't spin?, already check for turbo leaks, already change vacuum line, try with other boost gauge. i try putting my bov harder. but getting compressor surge, so i really need help. iam runnig td04 trying 7 psi. im getting smoke but only when car is cold and sometimes in neutral. help please. sorry about my bad english.

Where do you have your boost gauge line hooked into on the engine? Did you ever get an oil restrictor for your -4AN turbo oil feed line? Is your BOV venting to the atmosphere or is it recirculated back into the intake pipe?

my bov is recirculated, i have changed my -4an line for a smaller because restrictors are hard to find here, my boost gauge is hooked to the line that goes from the intake to the block, is the one on the right side.

Try switching the boost gauge hookup to one of the vacuum lines coming from the intake manifold.
