Ok i'm pretty sure i fixed the boost leaks. but now my car is misfiring worse. I installed a greddy type s bov and now when i hardly put the peddle down the stock boost gauge is going all the way up and i'm at like 2-2.5k rpm. Maybe I need to mess with MBC?. Tonight it wouldnt start... did a running start and then 15 miles down the road the lights started getting weak and my car bogged out. luckily it turned back on so I could get the rest of the way but I had to keep it from bogging out.. although switched off between a 1k idle and bogging out. Any help is appreciated.. I have two dsms and can't drive either... its killing me
 
To me it sounds like its other wise a really bad boost leak. But you said your shure you got all of them so try testing your IAC.

I COMMAND YOU TO GET THEM RUNNING!!!!! LOL. Just messing arround but it would be nice to see you get the both of them up and running.
 
ok will do... i got some cheap ass sunpro one sittin around... and i already got a hose ready for one in my car but the hose is bigger then what its supposed to use... and the one that came with the boost gauge doesnt even stay in tightly... any special way to ghetto rig this to the one already there?

One of couplers blew off... then test drove and another blew off... i have a coupler in a weird place to block a hole in a pipe but looks like it aint gonna work out like that because its in the way of another pipe-pipe coupler

and i got the cheap boost gauge rigged up... but that wasnt the problem neway

When I said IAC I wastalking about the ISC. sorry. (idle air control motor) on the throttle body.

As for the vac hose. Use a zip tie on it to securly snug it up to insure it dont pop off under boost.
