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

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Naw, aftermarket VDO gauge.  Do you have a Mighty-Vac?  Could use that to
isolate air leaks for the smaller hoses/lines.  I've found the hard plastic
lines split underneath so that you can hear a hissing under vacuum but not
see anything...(V8 in this case).
