I took Jim Lill's advice on riding the brake while giving the car gas. I did
get full boost once, but more surprisingly I heard a hiss, increasing in
volume with accelerator position, coming from behind the glove box. : ) I
think we all know that it sounds like an o-ring that's not sealing. WOOHOO!!!!
I think I won't have to buy a new turbocharger. YEAH!!!

PS. John, I think your suggestion is a great theory and since I was leaking
pressure, the turbocharger wasn't able to maintain it with the RPMs
increasing.
