i dont think so man, it was def a lot faster and i could def tell the difference in second. it just feels liek clogged or something. i have checked everting and replaced the ECT n75 and some hoses. now i think it might be the in line check valve or the EVAP or could it be the wastegate purge valve? im goign nutts over this!!!

i doubt anything is clogged........ do you have access to a compressor? do the diy vac test and check if you do, if not you could spend a few bucks and chase every hose and replace them all........ that will probably bring your power back..... that or you might have a cracked check valve that is leaking

there is 2 or 3 check valves right? well i checked 2 and they seem fine, main thing is i just dont feel the kick from the turbo any more, i noticed that when i changed my DV from stock to a dahlback onethats when i noticed power loss right after i changed it could it be i pulled on a hose?? cause the one going up i kinda pulled on but i cant tell where it goes from on top of the car

problem with throwing it on the dyno is that you don't have any baseline numbers to compare it to...

Sounds like you have a leak. Check the hosegoin into the turbo from the intercooler. That hose usually breaks. While the car is idling go underneath and move the hose goin to the turbo around. You should hear it leaking from around the wastegate.
