so i have finished (maybe) my 5sfte conversion... when i fire it up, it runs and the boost gauge shows a manifold vacuum at idle.... but then when i rev it, it hits 0psi and goes no further...
It is also making a whistling sound (which would indicate a leak?)
any ideas?

check your piping.

Check for leaks...probably your issue. Also, if you're just revving your car from idle you probably wont see any boost on the gauge.

You do realize you need to drive the car under load to make boost, right?
15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
yea reving it it will not make boost...throw it in 3rd on the highway and romp on it...see what its reading...then report back...i know i have a boost leak somewhere...i just have to rip apart my pipeing again and tighten everything up, and go over my vac lines once more. mine is making a loud hissing noise under boost and it doesnt feel as powerfull as it use to be in 4th and 5th

probably should clarify... it was not making boost under load either... i did take it for a brief drive, took it to 4-4500 rpm, and still nothing.
i have gone through and checked all my piping and it all appears to be secure... could perhaps the wastegate flap be stuck open?

I will fool arround with the wastegate and take it for a spin, if that does not solve the issue i will make a boost leak detector.

I would suggest making a leak tester or buying one online...I myself need to invest in one. Good luck with your search.
