alright, i think i might have got the vac leak fixed, but there's a catch, let me explain.
First off, i did three things, i replaced the cap with the 3 t's and put a fat new oring on it(courtesy of Teewx lol), re-adjusted the round canister bracket to make sure it was EXACTLY where it should be, replaced the short fat line from the cap to canister. also, the connection for the actuator(the thing with the two nipples, top one left open) was unplugged, BUT, i might have just unplugged it when i took it off to get at the canister bracket bolts, i didnt pay attention to it, until i noticed it was unplugged, so that coulda been a dumb mistake that i never noticed lol.
anyway, now i get full boost, back up to ~8.5 psi(thats where it was when i did before my "weekend of doom" lol, with a 3.4 pulley. BUT i did put a ported case on and changed to a 3.3 pulley, wouldnt that get me a little more boost)
so it seems to be fixed right? well..... on the vac side of things..
starting it up, and letting it idle, in park and nuetral, it goes down to ~-20, stays there for about 5 seconds, then jumps right to -17.1 and stays there. does not move unless i give it some gas, and then it does the same, down to 20, then up to 17. when i put it in reverse at idle, it goes to -15.9 and stays, when i put it in drive, it fluctuates between -18.5 and -17.9, seeming to stabilize halfway in between.
is this normal, am i just stressing it cuz its been ****ed up for a whole week and now im paranoid, or do i really have something to worry about? one more note, when in throttle, if im not 100% wot, it will catch at around 5-6 psi for not even a second, then go up to 8ish, probably nothing, but if i remember right.. i dont think it did that before, but i honestly dont remember lol.
any help or comments appreciated, thanks.
