Turbo 2H guys help me out. Turbo Dynamics/Denco kit fitted. Runs like a top, got the fuel adjusted pretty well. Slight black smoke at low RPM, almost none at high. EGT at the manifold with the sensor on cylinder 5 is 950F degrees max, usually sits much lower. But it won't build more than 5 psi. Even with the waste gate disconnected and wired shut. I had a nasty exhaust leak and two broken exhaust studs so I just pulled the exhaust manifold, turbo looks ok. Very little shaft play. Spins freely, no abnormal noises. It is a Schwitzer S2A (T3 flanged). Changed exhaust studs, exhaust gaskets, turbo gaskets, and all the turbo hardware. Put it all back together and still 5 psi. What do I look at next? No intercooler, all hoses and couplers are new too. I'm stumped. No massive leaks that I can see or feel. Here's a couple pics of the setup.
