[s-cars] Boost problems

[JC]

How are your hoses? Low vacuum at idle suggests you have a significant leak.
It might be a crack that is firm enough to stay sealed up to 4psi for
instance and then blow out under higher pressure. BTDT w/ the Michelin Man
hose.  IIRC 034 has a subframe bushing kit available, delrin or something.
If your steering is very loose you shouldn't be driving the car until you
figure it out BTW...
