I think I may have found out why I can't make any boost. I was looking on some other forum and I read that other people were having the same thing happen to them and It's a boost leak or a bad wastegate. I had this happen the first time when I got the car when it wouldn't let me rev over 4500RPM in neutral. So I was thinking it was a launch control set up for the AEM. I have a way to test the wastegate to see if it's bad. It make sent because the wastegate is what make the boost right and by using a boost controller you are controlling the amount of boost that the wastegate makes. I have tryed to raise mine back to 23lbs and know matter how much I raise the boost up it wont make over 10lbs.

No offense but it seems like you bought something that was a little over your head and your shooting in the dark. Yes the wastegate is what makes boost but with a leak to the wastegate you would get to much boost no to little. But im still for boost leak or ignition problems. I would just take it to MAP or DB and be done with it

Thanks for your input. But I don't think I am in over my head this is just the first turbo car I have ever owned and I have learn a lot already about the car.I am making a boost leak tester today and I a getting a laptop so I can see what the AEM is showing what the car is doing.
