RE: Boost issues:
i really do not want to believe this, i so do not have the money to buy a new turbo 
will it hurt the car running with a bad turbo for awhile or should i be hitting the bank for a loan real quick? haha

ALL i have to say is i went threw the same **** as ur going through. did a proper pressure test no leaks, but the n75 nothing changed the dv nothing i did everything i could and i couldent figure it out. i would boost at 20 settle at 15-16 adn then at liek 4 k it would drop off to about 10psi............................................. .................................................. .......................... all of that equals the turbo is about to BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!. i know you dont want to believe it but most likely if u tired every possibility and noting will fix it your turbo will go (the seels and gaskets not the whole turbo) so if nothing works figure out what ur gonna do

RE: Boost issues:
i wasnt even boosting that much to start with. the previous owner had it set around 12-14psi and it peaked about 20psi. so now when i step on the gas the boost will spike and then drop back down to normal. i just looked on a few sites and a new GT25R is around $1k. I am so hating life right now.
