Using the turbos large amount of torque :) 2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen. 2.3 I-4 with HOT turbo. 230 BHP and 258 Ft/lb torque. 0-60 5.8 seconds, top speed 155 (governor limited)
Definitely screwed up... you are not getting the proper air mass at all, boost gauge should at the very least touch the red. Is your BPC plugged in lol?
The reason your turbo gauge won't go to red is due to the following conditions.
1 - MAF sensor should be cleaned / replaced
2- Spark plugs. NGK BCPR7ES, gapped to .9mm
3 - Faulty check valve. On the BPC, there are three hoses coming out of it. Unplug the top hose that goes to the other side of the intake pipe, cap off the silicone hose with a screw and a zip tie, this will not hurt your car. There are write ups on how to do this.
Your car is broken i promise you. my Viggen is stock in perfect condition and it would blow by you like you where standing still if that is all you got in third gear. Your car don´t even ask for the right amount of airmass. Get it looked at.
Yeaah that boost gauge isnt saying anything good, unless you werent wide open that is
