Lost all my boost
A friend and I installed a manual boost controller on my civic today (it was already set at 10psi before the MBC); took for a test drive and my boost gauge shot up to 15psi when it was supposed to stay at 10psi so figured out it was put on wrong and had a boost spike. Took it off and ran it back the way it was before. Now I get know boost at all but I can still hear my turbo spool up. Checked all my piping and everything is good. Any ideas?
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

A leak between the turbo compressor outlet and the throttle body, or wastegate stuck open or connected wrong?
If it idles all wrong now, maybe you popped something off the intake.
