Right now it's doing no more than 3psi and I'm not sure why. I don't have a vacuum leak because at idle vacuum is solid at 19-20. I think there may be a leak in my piping.
I do need to recirc my blow off valve, but I really don't know what else to look for. Car runs great, the idle is funny, but will be completely fixed once I recirc the blow off valve.
As far as you losing boost, pull the hose off the wastegate and see if your car can over-boost. I caution you to becareful as you will wack a headgasket or a piston easily like this. Or you're possibly losing boost through the BOV (may need to adjust it) or you may have a rag stuffed your intercooler piping. Is your wastegate actuator arm adjustable? If so, I would check it as well. Just trying to help and congratulations on the install. Good luck!

Sh!t I got an '01 Maxima too I should have made it known as well it's an SE too by the way. Since we mostly deal in Sentra, I figure it was no biggie! Hatz off to boost_boy!
great job on the setup, looks good. much props to being a pioneer of the first few to turbo that engine. or am i wrong and have they been turbo-ed before? oh well, youve got my support.
u might wanna cut the head flange on the turbo mani to help prevent cracking. one slot in between both pairs cyl 1,2 and 3,4 will allow the flange to expand and the mani will last longer.
recirc the blowoff valve and it will idle perfectly. when i had my blowoff valve venting to atmosphere.....it would run rich, cough, and stumble. it would usually stall if i got off the gas and coasted too.
actually, i do. its an internal gate actuator with two vacuum ports. i dont have the part # off of it and im pretty sure u will need to modify the arm to get it to fit.
