That'll tell you if signal is reaching the WGFV, but little else.  Never
disable for the purposes of testing??  Seems many on this list already have
it permanently disabled via boost controllers.  Pinching it off for a quick
test presents little or no risk.



"What -would- cause that noise is the 1/3rd inch long crack in the
hose that joins the metal pipe to the throttle body."

I had made the assumption that your pressure test was still valid when you

them...
