Possible source of boost leak

[squall333]

Ok first off i had the clutch replaced about 3 months ago. Since then the clutch pedal comes back really far. Since then iv had a problem that i dont seem to get any boost. When i really step on the gas i feel a little effect of the boost but what also happens is the clutch pedal goes back to where it should like 3-4 inches closer to the firewall. Is there any correlation?

The two are not related may be just by coincidence, do a boost leak test, then bleed your clutch. Does the pedal work correctly when you push it normal and if you tap it lightly does it fall to the floor? If it does suddenly drop after a light touch then you have ghost pedal (oooo scary).

Thanks for the reply. Its not a ghost pedal. Iv done some reading and i think its the slave cylinder. The pedal works fine it just comes off the floor really far. On 1 t25 id need a 2" coupler to do a boost leak right?

Just follow this and you'll be fine with the tester. As for the slave, you can check that by pulling back the boot of the piston. If you find any fluid inside the boot, the slave needs to be replaced. I would also replace the master at the same time, since the always seem to go out together. If you don't want to replace the master, you can check it by looking under the dash. They typically leak fluid all over the carpet when they die.
