    Mine starts building around 3-3.5k rpm, normally rev it up to 6.5-7k and then release it, gives a nice woosh sound

    You should normally only be able to build boost under load. If you're in neutral it's not going to happen unless you are running a rev limiter of some sort.

    Like DarkCaporal said, you should only be able to build boost under load. But no boost while driving in first is... odd... :S

    No leak. I can build 10lbs every time and hold it there. The wastegate opens tho. I think i might be building boost but neither of my gauges show boost at all

    When you punch it from a stand still, do you FEEL it boosting? It's a pretty unmistakeable feeling, boost gauge or not lol.
