Ok so I decided to sell my car for another one. I found the one I want and I am in the process of making an add for it for ebay. I figured I would take it out one more time before I put it to rest. And I floor it on the main road here and all of a sudden no boost gauge. I know this isn't major since I can still hear boost going into my eninge. Just seems quiter. Any Ideas on how to fix this? Boost gauge needle just sits at 0 PSI

this seems kindof silly why are you getting rid of the car? All FD's are quirky like this, it's like owning a lotus, at least until you've done all the mods and simplified the car quite a bit (aftermarket engine management, single turbo, etc..) even then they are still relatively complex... compared to say a plain ole NA. Didnt you just put a new clutch in it? seems kinda fickle to me.

stick with the manual
maybe you popped an intake tube off, or vacuum line(s). Get out the vacuum diagram and follow all the lines, make sure they're all connected.

okay thanks.....Its not just because of the manaul. My car has 60,000 miles!! And alot of mods. I just need the car to get me from A to B. I would rather the car be with someone who wont put alot of miles on it and someone who can race the hell out of it!
