I haven't been able to stomp it...I got it to get to 107 load and then I had to let off of it. I gotta fix a couple of suspension issues then I should be able to really check. For some reason I don't think its blown though, but I can't back it up but I have that feeling that it is not blown.

 

well is there any oil around it?

 

not that I could see.

 

well if your not smoking out your exhaust either then its probly not blown. there was a couple times i thought mine was too but it wasnt.

 

no smoke out the back.

 

probly fine. i wonder if there is something internally wrong with my motor causing bad vac at idle and rich closed loop afrs

 

ok well here is something weird... i was so frustrated today with my -12 vac that i tried another boost guage but instead just unplugged a hose from the intake mani and plugged it into the boost guage... perfect -20.... weird so then i hook the connection back how it was and replaced the other boost gauge were mine is now... -12 weird... so i thought it was the hose and fooled around with it but it wasnt.

turned out i tried a bunch of different Ts and nothing worked... turns out if i have it not T'ed it works so i stole one off the vacuum control valve... any ideas on this one guys?

 

Collapsed vacuum T's??? My gauge is quad point T'd between the fpr and intake with the additional things being bov and vac/boost gauge. Reads- 3hg/inch with the car off....real piece of junk. 4bar omni is dead accurate...that's a killer boost gauge, cause you can log it. And speed density...

 

no I tried a bunch of different T's.... how does that make any sense tho?

 

How does it make sense that the gauge reads one thing at one nipple but something else at a different nipple? a leak somewhere or a collapsed hose/T....or little engine gremlins blowing in one of the tubes when you're not looking......

 

i tried T'ing in at several places on the manifold... but only when i used a T it was messed up. hahaha i dont get it

 

Use bigger T's then? are you using little bitty ones?

 

well i was using the one the glowshift boost gauge came with and its pretty big. i also tried smaller.

 

tried a bigger T and saw 4 vac lol

 

On the plus side, you know that as you are making those changes, trying different things, you are seeing results....so you are on the right thing. That's a plus.
