    Checked over all vacuum lines?

    Do you have a real vacuum gauge you can use to check vacuum at idle, should be around -19-20.

    Also if your LTFT are at 16.4 you have a vacuum leak.

    Boost control soleniod.

    If you had a big leak that could push out that much boost..you'd have one hell of a vacuum leak at idle. If it was lim...you'd hear it whistling/blowing out all kinds of stuff.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
