I just noticed the "turbo guage" in my 94 850 Turbo working very weakly if at all. I guess I have a vacuum leak somewhere leading to it. No CEL or fault codes have shown up. Will this harm anything? Where is the most likely place to find the leak? Thanks in advance.

It will definately harm your performance. It can either be the boost gauge line itself but more likey a leak in a vaccum line or an intercooler pipe. There are TONS of threads about this subject as it is the most common problem with these cars that is easily fixed. Just look for all hoses and piping and make sure there are no holes in them. Look on Rich's site and search this forum, you will find the answer.

Is your car running ok? It may be just the line going to the gauge. You want to check the vacuum line going to your gauge by looking under the dash by the hood release(remove the panel under the dash first) and also under the throttle body cover at the vacuum tree (in the engine bay).

My car seems to be running fine. I just noticed that the turbo gauge wasn't moving much, atleast not like it used to. Also, I haven't had any fault codes or check engine lights come on as I have had in the past with vacuum leaks.

[I]I just found a broken vac line broken on the drivers side behind headlamp, its a hard plastic line. Mine was VERY brittle and had to replace the line.
