Okay everybody here is the problem. I have a 1994 rx7, with the power FC, HKS SSQ BOV, Apexi intake, and HKS titanium exhaust. Ok the hose to my stock BOV was not connected ( the little hose not the big one) and I was leaking boost on both turbos. The first one wasn’t as bad as the second turbo. The second one felt like it wasn’t even boosting. So I got a silicon hose kit and replaced the hoses that went to the BOV’s and a couple of other ones. Then I put all the stuff back on. Ok now the car is running like ****, the air pump keeps turning on and off, and it sounds like it is being suffocated. Sometimes it just dies. And I don’t have the stock hood so I cant look at the vacuum diagram to see if I hooked something up wrong. If anybody might know what the problem is, please feel free to let me know. Or if you guys know a web site to print out a vacuum diagram, hook me up…

did you have the upper intake manifold off? If so... make sure you hooked the MAP sensor back up...

The hoses are not right. You will have to double check them all.



Pretty good pix here, navigate to the how to, and then vac hose job.
