[s-cars] Weird boost issue - resolved (maybe?)

[Robert Myers]

I'm almost ashamed to tell.  My first thought as the cause of the 
boost loss was a leak in the MAP line at the ECU/water trap 
region.  Tore into it and found absolutely nothing suspicious.  Nope 
- obviously no leaks there.  So what's the problem?  Sticking WG 
valve?  Failed WGFV?  Well, working on the hoses and replacing 
everything near the ECU will cost maybe $10 or so and a little of my 
time and anything else will be over $100 so lets do some cheap 
"repairs" before I start spending real money.  Thinking they were 
alright and that I was probably wasting time and effort, I replaced 
all the rubber portions of the MAP hose anyway and went for a test 
drive.  YeeHaaaa!  Boost is back!

I examined the pieces removed and see no faults but swapping it out 
gave me boost so...  ????  Either there was a leak there that I still 
can't find or I somehow accidentally "fixed" something else.
