Question No boost and tranny problem

Just rebuilt my 7.3 and did some upgrades, wicked wheel for the turbo, 4 inch turbo back exhaust, stage 1 single shot injectors and a DP tuner. Just started the truck last night and after letting her idle for an hour took it for a little drive. First thing is it wouldnt shift until like 2300 to 2500 rpms to any of the gears. So i had to go like 30 mph because i could go over 2000 until the turbo was broke in! And just today i found out that i cant get over 10 pounds of boost even over 2000 RPMS. I dont know what to do. Please help

i would look for a leak on the boots and spider. if you take the dp off dose the tran still shift hard.

I have not tried removing the DP yet because i was told that my single shot injectors wont run without it! But i dont know if thats true or not. As far as the boots they are all brand new and all new clamps and they all apear to be tight. I can hear the turbo spool but it is not making it to the intake.

i think you are right they wont run with out it did not see that. is the waste gate on the turbo working it might be stuck and bleeding off your boost.
