well... heres a little story :P sorry if its long..

car has been off the road for 1 year.... when i did run it before... watever turbo i put on.. my turbo would spike like 5psi.. then drop -5.. then try to stablise.. but by that time id need to change gear.....

now after a year .. i got my turbo rebuilt(it was going)... and i put new vacuum hosing on.. .but i got a feeling it hasnt got anything to do wiv that... i think maybe somthing to do wiv my engine (although it did have a rebuild recently)

im js a bit worried cos my vacuum seems to be lower than alot of other peoples..

That reading is fine, don't worry about it. That's a good vaccum compared to something with a racey cam, etc.

Is it just running off an actuator the turbo or you got in boost controllers? What do your dash boost guage say, is it still plumbed in? what boost are you running?

ye i got an incar boost.. n im quite sure its done right.... and please dont tell me to throw my boost controller away lol.. i know the argument.. :P

actuator to t piece(bleed valve) ....from bleed valve to either carb top or base... and from bleed valvue to incar boost..

incar boost.. has one pipe going to air/nothing.... one from the under bonnet bleed valvue... and other is blocked

hope that makes sense... :P


im not driving it atm.. my insurance starts in 1 week :) ... i was running anything from 16psi to 23.... watever boost i was runing it would be impossible to get it running a stable boost.... ie tryin to run 18psi.. would spike to 18 then drop to 14 then raise back up slowly back to 18!!! :(
