Default vacume source making a big difference?

Well me and my brother made a new vacume block to run of the break booster instead of running the wastegate and the blow off valve off the FPR. when we tested it out, the car seemed to run a lot better. it idled better, seemed faster well we spin in third now and not 2nd.

could just making a new vacume block make a big difference power wise?

I changed the vaccum port on my wastegate from the compressor to the intake(GE vaccum box) and the car has more power at the same boost levels? don't know why, boost gauge reads the same? small t3 turbo and dual stage mbc set to 5#'s and 10#s?

its because you were screwing with the vaccuum source to the fpr . i always run the fpr dedicated off the manifold.

well the FPR is not dedicated to the intake mani. but just making stronger vacume makes the car run better/maybe faster?
