Well, I am having my vac caps blown off on certain ports, the one between the oil injectors on the LIM got blown off yesterday, the cap lowest on the right side of the TB when installed kept getting blown off, and so I stuck my MAF line there and capped the other one, I was trying to use a vac port on the left side of the TB above the BB and i was getting no reading at all, so I am now running my boost gauge off one on the right side of the TB...sorta weird...werent all vac ports created equal??? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

On a side note, too much pre-mix makes for interesting messed under your UIM.....hehe....

I had to ziptie all my vacume caps down https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png things came off with as little as 6lbs

Damn thing is leaking fuel out of the primaries as well, its so soaked with pre-mix the chance of igniting is slim to none....pain in the ass car..

Sounds like you've got something to keep you busy.



When I cranked up the boost on my car to 12 psi, it started blowing caps and hoses off pretty often. You'll want to clamp all of them for reliability.



Remember, in a turbo car, they're only vacuum lines when you don't have your foot in it.

some of the vacuum lines always see only vacuum, some of them see both boost and vacuum

That seems backwards. ALL lines will see boost. Some lines see vacuum also. SOme boost lines do not see vacuum. (before the TB ..) after the TB they see boost (TB open car boosting entire inlet after the turbo sees boost). TB closed lines see vacuum post TB, lines pre TB see -0 (atmospheric pressure).

super glue the inside of the caps https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png and clamp them

Well I think I blew my turbo, I am not sure, i am getting a hefty vibration under boost from the turbo area of my engine bay, slow to build boost. Not sure, was running 12lbs now capping out at 7lbs or my SS Auto Exhaust manifold is totally fucked, ive got a new exhaust leak that started after my EGT temps were hot enough to melt my o2 sensor to slag because of my leading coil not operating. So....today is tear it apart day...
