hey guys, my friend just got his turbo kit installed on his '99 eclipse gs...it was installed at millenium...brought the car to my place after i got outta work only to find that the car gets ZERO boost...as in...it doesn't stay in vaccuum, it gets to ZERO and doesn't rise...note that there's a small tear in one of the i/c pipes(hole) but my guess is that if the wastegate is working correctly it should still make good gobs of boost am i right? someone help me on this

He's right. I had the j pipe coming out of my Big16g not tightened all the way and I could get almost no boost. If you got a hole, then the "pressurized" system cannot keep pressure. JB Weld and Duct Tape will hold temporarily under low boost, but that pipe really needs to be replaced. You probably just spend a lot of time and money on that turbo kit, don't get ghetto now.
