95 AWD
14b.

Here's a run down of what I've been doing over the past few days.

5K Stutterbox, and I can't build more than 3 psi of boost.

There are NO boost leaks, nada, zip. I've leak-tested to 15psi so far (Not a big enough compressor) and I have no boost leaks.

I just picked up a new EVO III Hotside (Borrowed) from a member here, and slapped it on, therefore the hotside is perfect.

The timing (mechanical) is off 1/2 a tooth, but not enough to cause this.

The exhaust manifold is a little bit wet at the head, however I don't see any smoke coming from it.

I'm completely baffled as to why I have no boost. The turbo has little up/down and no in/out play. It's Ian's 14b, however I do believe it was abused by the previous owner.

Help????
