Well, I don't have a boost gauge first off... I have a refrideration gauge. lmfao. Well, hey, it shows vaccum really accurately and should have shown boost, but it wasn't.

Anywho, I found the problem I think. The WG hose was shot to hell and back. Probably from the heat so I replaced it then when for a drive, it shot up a hill like a different kind of animal. Or however much harder it could on just 12v and with an automatic .

But yea, killed by battery pretty fast (no alt) so I figured something was going on that was before! SPOOLING!


Think I fixed it? I hope so.

The stock hoses are just horrid, and replacing them is never a bad idea. Good Work!

Well, now I REALLY got it fixed! Thanks to yogurtslinger; we live about 5mi apart! (Only two TDers around here)

He came over and showed me two things...

A) When I re-did my vac lines I left the fuel regulator unhooked. Which was the cause for the stumbles when I put it in gear.

B) Waste gate arm came undone... I checked it before, but never ran my hand all the way to the swing-valve. Its connected now and you can CLEARLY hear the whine!

Not only that, it gets to 40 in HALF the time it used to take! I can't wait to start modding this puppy.
