i think theres something wrong with my car's vaccum. you know where the vaccum line ends how theres the little hole that is usually connected to the stock intake well when i put my finger over it no air is being sucked in. I remmeber the first time i put my turbo in that that thing was suckin air but now its like not sucking any air, my boost guage is reading like -20ish on idle i think everything is fine im just curious as to why its not sucking mad air like it used to.

thats weird, but if its still showing vacuum on the gauge your fine. i don't know much about turbos but my jrsc is at -20 at idle also

which line are you talking about? the one that comes out of that little black plastic T that sits right under where you tap for the BOV??

It only sucks air when the car is cold is open, ones is warm it closes, I have my Bov conected there, but I was having some problems, not working, closing and opening thats why I used now a vacum block thats the best inbestment you can do.

Here is mine, is the red square block conected to the line of the brake booster, and you can see I connect my Bov, wastegate and my boost gauge.
