    Will do, a rubber vacuum line that's a t broke today and I fixed it by tapping it back together it's on the lines that are a thin piece of plastic that attach at the intake manifold under the blower and in the fuel rails, could that be it?

    tape dont work well.

    if you have advance auto near by, go there, look for a two pack of white small T's they cost 2 bucks. buy a foot of vac line, thats like a buck a foot.

    put 1 1/2 inch long vac line on all 3 sides of the T, then push one side to the lim, and the two plastic lines into the other two lines.

    do the same for the FPR too. you got 2 new T's, use em.

    also the injector o rings, if you didnt lube the o rings before installing them one could have rolled out of place or broke on you. spray it down with carb cleaner. if the idle jumps you found the leak area.

    Gonna replace a very loose gas cap on the GXP and see if it improves MPG's any. Nvm had the CEL come on for it though. Might also invest in some NGK TR6IX plugs.

    That's exactly what was causing it to misfire except now my boost gauge is now back to reading half boost at full throttle

    i bet its very loose fitting. change it anyways. the map reads the boost and tells the dash how many lego blocks to turn up lol

    Figuring out all the quirks of this black GTP.

    Got some KR with the 3.0 on a hot day so I threw the 3.2 on until I can get another tune thrown on it. That blows.

    The ignition cylinder has a weird habit of not turning back to the off position when the car's in park. It'll go back to the accessory position but not the off position. I wouldn't care, because the key can be pulled out from there. Trouble is, if you do that, you can start the car with no key. I live downtown. Not good. When that happens, the only way to get the ignition back to the off position is to use the little button inside the steering wheel. That's annoying.
