got boost (slight return)?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Derek,

Duh!  I guess I needed more coffee before I responded.  Lots of vacuum at 
idle = good.  So, you're only seeing 1.6 for boost, eh?  Freq valve 
functioning properly?  Check the coolant temp sensor (3 or 4 prong) for 
corrosion?  BPV for proper operation (bet it's kaput).
