Default not building boost

ok people so heres the problem... i have a zpi set up (16g) with 550cc inj. and the emanage ultimate... ive checked all my intercooler piping, vacuum lines, blow off valve, and boost controller and everything seems perfect....BUT im not building ANY boost... i dont know what the issue could be ... all i can think of is a bad turbo... has anyone else had a problem like this with the 16g OR does anyone know what the issue could be? any help would be appreciated.

any smoke coming out of the exhaust? Blue smoke usually means blown turbo. Other wise it could be a leak somewhere?? thats what it sounds like

ur seals could have gone bad. take all your pipes off, and reinstall them to make sure there isnt a possibility of a leak. Check for oil on the intake side, and unbolt the downpipe and check for oil. make sure emanage is solid green. report back.

do you even hear your turbo spinning? Do you have water cool lines to it or a turbo timer?
