OK my boost gauge reads 10 vacuum at idle and i know its suppose to be around 20.. i made one of those vacuum leak testers where u hook it to the turbo and use an air compressor to build up pressure in the intake system and listen for leaks.. the only air leaks i could hear was where the clamp is that attaches the turbo but i domt think thats where my vacuum leak is comming from.. any other ideas how to find my leak would there be a leak if one of the lines was hooked up wrong?? thanks
 
I was taught to find vac leaks with a can of WD-40. While this may make some people cringe, it works. Simply spray the WD-40 around the engine of the car near all the vac hoses until the engine surges a bit. Leak found...
