Okay, 1988 tc stock motor with just a ranger roller swap and .60 t3 on it. Wont build boost. All new hose clamps and gaskets , even changed the head gasket. When it is under a load, it wants to build boost( I hear the turbo) but all I get is about 1.5 pounds of boost. What gives?

did you check the wastegate? maybe it is leaking. did you check to make sure your center section is in good shape? as in the wheels spin freely and stuff

Try tieing the wastegate shut or possibly disconnecting it, but be extremely cautious because boost will build quicker than normal and will go sky high, and cause you to replace that head gasket again if you don't let off. That will rule in or out the wastegate.

Got it fixed guys. Thanks for all the hlp. Bottom intercooler hose where it connects to the intercooler was torn right where the clamp was.
