Anybody got/found a vacuum diagram? I decided to do a "boost leak test" on my et today. Turns out it has major boost leaks. No wonder it has crap throttle response and idle's like shite.
Major issue was I had to use the crappy 12V compressor. Would only charge the system to 2Psi and took approx 10sec to go back down to 0. Couldn't hear a leak in that time though, I'll have to pull the 240V compressor out of storage, I hate moving.

Looking for vacuum line diagram
STill no luck, it idles ok I guess but I can tell that its chewing through fuel. Boost gauge stays consistantly at around 10-12 vacuum so its not so bad. I don't think I have a big air leak I'm just not sure if I have my lines connected to the right thingsunique_ET_N12 wrote:you still having trouble with it??? whats the progress????
I'm going to have a look through my spares to check and see if I have that sender unit.
Anjeti, How did you pressurise your vacuum lines?
cheers Michael,
I made a "Boost Leak Tester" similair to the one on this page http://www.vfaq.com/mods/ICtester.html
Except all I had laying around was some heavy duty steel water line fittings, so mine is all steel.
Then I hooked up the 12V compressor and went.
I pulled the 240V compressor out today, charged the lines to 10PSI and popped the hose off the turbo -> intercooler. Looks like the clamps are Fubar.
(To know what pressure I charged the lines to, I actually moved my Boost gauge into the engine bay temporarily, you can also have someone inside reading it for you. I'm also going to make a different kind of one, with a regulator on it, so I can just hook the compressor up and look for leaks, instead of, charge -> look for leaks -> charge -> look for leaks etc. When I make the new one, I'll do a write up.)

Damo, what should I connect the fuel reg, boost gauge and BOV into if I shouldn't connect them to the nipple on the throttle body?Damo wrote:The nipple on the T/B should run ONLY to the small nipple on the charcoal canister. Do not have the fuel reg teed into this line, it will cause high fuel pressure on idle!
