Default Not responding to flooring

When I try to gain faster speed by flooring on the gas pedal the car does not pick up speed, it only accelerate as if i was slightly accelerating. I was wondering if anyone know what some problems may be. *

thanks.

No. It's not the one from paradise. I think it is already sold. Its another turbo that I am looking at but doesn't seem to be responding to quick acceleration. Just wondering what it could be.

What have you checked so far? What does the dash boost gauge say when you 'floor' it?

well if i floor it the boost gauge picks up to around 1.5 or so. So far i did a cylinder leak test on one of the cylinder and found 110 psi of compression with a hot motor and the throttle fully open.

What about compression on the other cylinders? Is the car burning oil? It might be worth doing a blink code test. See what it says.

Parking brake? Out on a limb, but this could be anything. It IS getting to 1.5, though.
