i pulled the accordion tube off the inlet to remove the washers from my wastegate aka the shims. on the bottom side of the accordion tube there is a small hose just chillin. it wasn't hooked to anything does anyone kno where this go's. also it was reading 20psi on the vac side when i looked after i removed the washers it was at ten. is this normal car runs great and its still reads almost the same amount of boost but no fco im happy

-10 is not enough for vacuum. there should be a nipple on the bottom of the accrodion hose for the hose your talking about which goes down to the p/s pump.

my car is running right around 16-18 in at idle and then jumps to 22 on decel while driving. does your gauge fluctuate at all? check it for vac leaks and boost leaks. my car had a huge vac leak still ran great but had low vac. fixed and problem solved. leak was on the egr vsv.
