No Boost - 2 Psi Max Maybe? Help

Hello all,

So I used to own a BA XR6T, and have recently purchased a BF XR6T. After having it for a few days I have noticed that it is really down on power, so I threw a cheap boost gauge in it to see what it was doing and..

Boost gauge only reads 0-2psi giving it the beans. Vac line for gauge is going directly to manifold where bov line was (bov removed).

I've checked all the cooler pipes, gave the boost solenoid a quick clean and had a quick look at the compressor wheel... and I cant find anything wrong.

Anything else I should check before shelling out for a tuner to have a look??

The biggest culprit is usually the pipe between the crossover and the throttle body. Bit hard to see or get your hands around the bottom so might be best to get someone else to rev the car while you feel around the pipes for leaks.
