Unhappy No Boost Or Power

I have an 04 with the greddy turbo that is giving me ZERO boost and runs about like a stock 95 civic, it feels like it is bogging down just has NO power whatsoever at 5000 if anyone can give any advice I would greatly appreciate it, and i did change the plugs so that's not the solution

I just had a problem like that. My car wouldn't go above 4k rpm and boost would go to 0 psi and stop going up. Someone else on the forum mentioned catalytic converter so I took it off and checked it. Half of the cat was broken up inside and clogging the exhaust. It also destroyed the oxygen sensor.

check your cat and coils too. we'll need more details though - any weird sounds? Does it only happen at 5k? Try swapping the trailing coils with leading and see if you get bogging issues when moving from a dead stop instead...

I'm still waiting for that A/F reading, JR. Are you going to install a WBO2S or are you going to continue to abuse your engine?
