You won't be getting any extra fuel to go with the boost as it is, the system must hold pressure.

I had a hose on it it was just running to the vac system and was certainly getting boost. I terminated on the nipple of the ALDA (No silly vacuum amplifiers for me) and the nipple of the vac line. Things got better with the brakes but not stellar. And I'm fairly certain the turbo isnt putting out at spec, it was replace by PO. I'm going to pull the turbo and verify that it is causing some other issues I am having and then putting in a VNT. I'm still convinced the booster is shot (no shutoff with brake pressed). I am pulling the vac line and booster from my other car this weekend or so. It stopped on a dime and I sorely miss that. The bigger shoes I had on the other car are coming to. One day at a time.
