changed the turbo gaskets, manifold gaskets, switched to fmic new pipping, etc..The car goes really slow, not even as fast as a single cam..
You can hear the turbo spool loudly. Can barely slightly chirp 2nd gear... So gay, it used to be able to spin 255s and chirp 4th gear, now it barely chirps 205s....

could the wastegate be stuck open??

Have you done a boost leak test? Try that, if not, see what kind of shaft play your have. Also check the turbo seals. If none of those works, see if your wastegate is open before it is supposed to.

Check for boost leaks then double check your timing, then check your spark plugs.

also compression test.

+1 it's a boost leak, after doing the fmic on my car i could hear the turbo spoolin loud, half my clamps on my piping were loose, added clamps and tightened the ones that were on there, I know the feeling jsut doing a pull on the highway beside a stock civic and the echo won.. was embarassing
