boost leak???
drove the car today, and i noticed it isnt boost 5psi. i also think the vacuum isnt all that great either...its around 9(forgot what it should read(20)). boost guage is reading 3-3.5 psi.
i made sure my pipes are still together, and they are. what should i check next?

Re: boost leak??? (crucial si)
Check the boost controller, maybe the settings changed. Check all the lines as well. Check also to make sure everyhting is running properly, like the turbo itself. Any weird things happen to your car latly?

Re: boost leak??? (Neptune)
Check your hose couplings. My friend was losing about half boost from the turbo and the intercooler last week, and he had a big hole in one of his couplings.

I would think about where you have your vac source ran off of for the wastegate. i had my run to the side of the turbo housing and relocated it to the brake booster source. Night and Day difference.

Re: (Quad-Damge)
i would say just check ur vac lines... connect the wastegate directly to the intake manifold.... its better that way (i did it and i gained 1psi 
). and uhh make sure u're boost gauge is working properly (calibrated and what not).... good luck!
