CHECK ON YOUR CLAMPS LIKE THIS BUDDY SAID...SOMETIME IF YOUR CLAMP LOOSING YOU CAN HAVE TURBO LEAKING TOO...SO CHECK ON YOUR HOSES AND CLAMPS AND ALSO YOUR TURBO BOOST GAUGE TOO.... ONLY IF YOU DIDNT SEE YOUR GAUSE IDLE MOVING AT ALL... :P

my car used to do that when my clutch was slipping. i put in a new clutch and she boosts really hard, esspecially on uphills. does it go to 7, drop to 3(roughly) then 0?

wastegate or the wastegate solenoid? my friend told me that its more likely to be the solenoid that controls the boost. it should be by the driver side strut under the hood.
