This is really Pissing me off cause it feels like I jus spent a Thousand and some change for nothing. Next stop is the shop which I Hate wit a Passion. Ill take off the valve cover I guess next and see whats going on in there how could I tell if the valve is bent.
Your saying at idle it is going crazy and only has -10 in/hg? for vacuum. I would say that is a definate boost/ vacuum leak that you need to fix. The car should be at idle with 16-18 in/hg. Driving your car like that will cause you to break other things especially if your detonating the motor.
