Well ever since i installed my boost guage i have had a CEL. I have also noticed choppy idle and that its hesitant until it hits full boost. I have brought it to a mechanic but they said that it was my guage and they seald off the guage. But light came on like 3 miles down the road. So my question is that i am completely out of ideas. The mechanic ran the code and came up with a vac leak by the FPR. I have checked very hose next to that stupid thing but it still appears. I have also change plugs, wires, valve cover and gasket, and ran some Restore through it. Can some one please help me figure out this problem? Thanks Matt

I also noticed today that when i unscrewed the cap to fill it with gas, there was alot of air that came out. It sounded like I had big ballon deflating. Any ideas why or is this normal? Matt

I have been doing someresearch and i found that the sock vac is just about at -20psi. My guage reads that the vac at idle is at about -21psi so that would mean that there couldn't be a leak....right? I am really stumped about this problem...i have even thought about getting rid of the car altogether. Any more ideas would be great! Thanks, Matt

My gauge reads about 18-20 vac. 21 may mean there is a leak somewhere in your vaccum hoses... try soapy water.

where exactly is the line tapped for your boost signal? Is it here?...
Don't mind all the loom and crap. It's all been long gone. I took this pic about a week after I had the car. The pressure when you take off the gas cap is normal. In fact, if you didn't have the system pressureized, that too would throw a CEL. I think you either have the tap in the wrong spot or the knocked off/loosened a line by accident. Don't give up and sell the car so easily, this is a minor issue...
