If your wastegate was stuck open you would still make some boost and you'd probably have other noises if your turbo was cactus.Double check all of you pipes, around the throttle body, etc. If you have factory piping make sure nothing has split where you can't see it. Some of the pipes are behind the bumper, so pull the splash shield off underneath and check them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 28,303 Member For: 16y 14d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 13/03/21 12:55 AM Share Posted 13/03/21 12:55 AM definitely a boost leak if it shows vacuum (that -21 reading, which is in "inches of mercury" instead of PSI which your positive pressure would be) then goes to zero... that says you're basically running as N/A so you've probably popped off an intercooler pipe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a think about getting an aftermarket piping kit - only $200 or so and metal. The stock plastic always dies eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
