Yes, I will need to try that, but meanwhile, is there any chance that the work I did with the vacuum lines may have affected operation of my turbo? I've read this post here (see post #2) and it mentions vacuum lines... I've closed up some open vac lines and have replaced 2 or 3 old vac lines with factory new lines and some rubber connectors. I do have a vac hose going from the intake manifold to the overboost valve on the firewall. The output is blocked by a golf tee... hehe since the PO had removed the ALDA. Grasping at straws here..
