help no boost

Installed new cargraphic exhaust today. I thought everything went well until test drive. No codes but rough idle and 0 boost at any speed. Also quite a turbo whistle but no go. Could it be I got too much penetrating spray on a sensor or maybe installed an sensor in the wrong spot, not likely was very careful. Some help would be appreciated.

Check IC hoses. Sometimes they accidently come loose during install.

I removed the intercoolers and 4 sensors to the exhaust. Will check intercoolers in the morning.

Imho, you should be fine. Drive gingerly and don't load it up where you're going to need boost. Your turbos may overspin. Get it fixed asap.

Thanks all, was a loose line however now I can't seem to get it to clip on properly. Looks like it's good then as soon as I tug it pops loose, any suggestions.
Thanks Josh

All fixed now, thanks again for the quick help. Previous threads on exhaust installs sure made this easy.

Lots of "no boost" posts recently - seems as if all were fixed by hooking up IC hoses correctly. That's the first place I'll look if it happens to me.
