He installed the shut off valve wrong. As discussed in another thread.

Gsxr is a smart chappie, even with Hobbes as his mascot.
Turns out even with full boost I got no acceleration (gerry rigged the wastegate open), so I figured out that has to be no fuel being supplied.
DUH, turns out Stupid here (that's me) screwed up putting the shut off valve in - it was causing the IP to give almost no fuel, no matter what.
Took the shut off valve off and put it back properly and voila - back to the good ol' days! Turbo working great, power back, etc. Geez, what a dork!
Thanks for the help Gsxr.
I'm going back to my corner now. No more car crunching for me this weekend.....
Ah, but one good question - what is spec 0-60 for the 2.5? I'm at about 16 sec. Should I be messing with things?
