no, it wont really work.cause the turbo has nowhere for the boost to go, so it makes some boost, then surges until it can catch back up with its self. run a boost pipe from the turbo directly to the manifold. make it with hoses you know are good and have no holes in them. then run it again. you should have more than 4 psi.
i was only getting 4psi on my old gtd engine, it turned out that the actuator wasn't bolted to the turbo so the exhaust valve thing in the turbo housing (can't think what its called) was just blowing wide open. not sure if this could help you in any way but it might be worth looking into to see if there's any issues with this.also my pump timing was out a fair bit on that engine and i still got 18 psi with it.

yea, you should be making damn near 30psi at that kind of RPM. and with black smoke too? you are loosing all your boost somewhere. thats the only posibility. take your boost hose off the turbo and put your hand over it and rev it up, it should blow your hand off pretty easy and at fairly low rpms.
the vanes should make the idle turbo howl sound faster or slower. i would say you have something seriously wrong with your vane setup or something.

my N/A would do that until a certain RPM then it would suck like crazy. I noticed it one time reving the engine and my other hand was in front of the intake tube.
The intake valve has a maximum valve lift of 8 mm. Intake opening is at 5 degrees aTDC and intake closing at 14 degrees aBDC where both timings are rated at 1 mm of camlift. The maximum valve lift of the exhaust valve is 9mm, with opening and closing at 27 degrees bBDC and ~ degrees bTDC respectively. Intake valve clearance is 0.2 to 0.3 mm, and exhaust valve clearance is 0.4 to 0.5 mm. All these geometrical dimensions are identical with that of the 4-cylinder naturally aspirated Diesel engine.
check your valve adjustment. there should be no "out" flow on the intake setup. when my valves were really out of adjustment it would do that. and if your valves are mis adjusted, then they wont be able to hold boost.
