S13, no boost?

Ok, long story short. The wastegate blew off the manifold, I took everything apart ( turbo related ), bought a new manifold, installed it and had a DP fab'd last night. Driving it today I noticed I'm getting NO boost at all, the car also seems to lose power when I hit in the 4-5k RPM range. Anyone have an idea?

Check for a any air leaks between the maf and the throtle body. Also what size pipe did you use on your down pipe.

3" like before. What do you mean by air leaks? Like unconnected hoses and what not?

Check pipe couplers too. Make sure they aren't split.

Re: S13, no boost?

No, the wastegate lines are hooked up right. After doing some research and taking suggestions from here, it ended up being an intercooler pipe, had a small gap between the coupler and the actual pipe.

Once again...

Thanks for the help everyone!
