between the turbo and the WG is where you install the ebc. from the WG to the tvsv, you disconnect that and cap the 2 nipples with vac caps.

you are loosing coolant, overheating and have a loss of power. those are normally signs of a blown head gasket. do that compression test before you do anything else with the car.

art, i posted above this is exactly how i had it run. this is when it was stuck at 4 psi and the controller did not work. my heating issue is too sparatic to be a HG, and there is deff not a loss for power here. but your right on the compression test. i do need to check it just so i know

if you are only getting 4psi, then you have major loss of power. you just dont realize it because, even at 4psi, the 3sgte is a big upgrade from the 7afe your used to

i am not at 4psi. it was stuck at 4 psi and will go back to this state if i cap the 2nd port on my WG and cap the other line that it connects to.... i understand totally from my 7a to the 3s. but i also understand my 4psi and 10psi that its at now.. i am confident that there are no major problems with my motor, again i still agree to do a comp test and i will find someone local to help me check it. and if it is the headgasket ill be relieved to know its not something even more major.. if which i doubt, but if it is the HG, i can only imagine how much stronger it will feel if i have to replace it...

DR. tweak, how are you setting up the vac lines whenyou installed them? dip settings,and where is our gain set?
