My VAC is between -19 & -21 at idle, but when I try to boost and it reaches 0 lbs, I lose power. My RPMs are normally around 2500-3000 when this happens. If I punch it (which I hardly ever do) I can get it above 0 lbs and boost fine.
The turbo has no shaft play, and was installed a couple of weeks ago. I'll be bringing it down to the shop today, but wanted to see if anyone here knew what it might be. Thanks. --------------------  |

yeah, loose vac lines= boost leak. i noticed that the metal hose clamps you can get at pepboys work a lot better then zipties, so you might want to look into those if your ties fail.
what type of vac readings to 5sfTes get at idle anyway? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
