Pops Racer Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Got my gauge up and running today. 1995 855T5 w/165k miles. Idle vac was ~17in/hg, boost was ~8psi, spiking to 10psi. All good? Went right to vac tree with tubing and hit dash dimmer for illumination, very nice. oh yeah, AutoMeter SportComp II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes engines just get "tired" though. Anyways, not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Racer Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Yeah, once the car warmed up a bit, inside and engine, it was more loik 19in/hg. So many opportunities for a vac leak on these cars. I do have all new silicone. I'll poke around and see if I uncover anything but sounds like I'm in good shape.

loseR99 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 If you have not cleaned your pcv system, doing so might help your vacuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Racer Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Thanks for checking me out Joseph. I just had complete PCV system done. My car is Stage 0++. I look for things to do to it, maybe bearings, or calipers. Nope, installing new turbo and saving for DP. Who knows , gauge may just need to break in a little bit. Its ass-cold here right now, might have something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
