Ive had a couple of boost probs too since i got mine but they have always turned out to be hoses either cracked/split/kinked.
 
Have a good check around near the turbo assembly mate as it gets mega hot down there.

Hey EnvyD - Do you have a boost gauge? so your saying you are getting full bost on 1st gear then sweet fa on the 2nd?

I had the same/similar problem with mine, after replacing ALL the vac hoses on the rats nest and scratching my head thereafter when i didnt get anything, i spotted another few hoses i missed :mad:

Take off the airbox and the BIG pipe that goes to the back fo the engine, you should see a few more pipes with me these are all brittle and split, to the point that if i touched them they crumbled! :)

Fix the prob! Turned out to be a split pipe from the phlenum (sp???) to the crv and the intercooler pipe had loads of cracks and a split too! Got them changed over and now it seems to be fine, sounds great, the exhaust is really growlie but not too loud. Hope you enjoy it bud!
