Ben,
>I think your mechanic is wrong on both accounts.
i suspected so. thanks for verifying. i had a feeling he was confused.
>You can tee in at the back of the ECU - that is what is being measured.
Since i already have it all installed (rather nicely, i might add :) im just
gonna leave it as is, if its reading right, which im now certain it is
(several off-list replies-THANKS, ALL!)
>You should be pulling vacuem at idle - around 18 at idle up to 30 when
>seriously downshifting.
WOW. you'rs really SUCKS ;) mine's actually -12/14 at idle and about -25
on big downshifts. i get 1.2 bar + 5/6 psi on full boost. im continuing on
the de-vaccumleaking campaign. hopefully ill get my motor to suck n blow a
little harder. (couldnt resist the obscene metaphor).
Thanx again!
jim
