well..... another problem came up.

My first two rides went great; on my third ride I went to give it full throttle and it fell flat on its face. No boost, and a lot of lag. I didn't want to push it after that so I took it home. It now just doesn't build boost anymore if at all and when I give it gas it falls on its face. It will build boost at random times or when I go first to second 3/4 throttle it seems to work, then when I hit third it just dies. Really looking for ideas what it could be or what I should look at. Here is a list of things that have been tired,

1. Put a new hose and stiffer spring on the BOV
2. Check to see if the turbo is spinning free with my hand(it is).
3. I checked both waste gates to see if they were stuck open and they would work when given pressure. I just pushed on the valve with my finger.
4. I reran the vacuum hose with new z1 line.
5. I have looked for leaks on the cold side by looking at the t-bolt clamps and trying to move them with force. I also checked to make sure they were tight.

I think I will take the cold side apart and check to make sure i put it on tight but any suggestions would be appreciated.
