My engine load gauge on the FIC is reading at around 6.5 psia, which is wayyy too low. My map doesn't even account for load that low. When I get up to around 6.5k rpm, the load gauge shoots up to maybe 9 psia, then drops back down to 6. I'm pretty sure I tapped the brake booster line. My methods were ____ty at best, and I'll pick up a vac block eventually, but I don't think it would affect my readings.



I just finished my turbo install, and this is the only thing holding me from hitting the road. Please Help!

I can attach a log too if that helps.

 

You might have a leak
Try using a clamp

 

I would start by clamping down the lines with small worm clamps and getting a vac block ASAP.

 

Definitely sounds like a leak. Check the silicone couplers to make sure one didn't pop off. Do you hear your BOV nice and loud? If not, then a leak before the BOV (that happened to me the first time). Also check the coupler to the throttle body. That was a PITA to get on and would slip off at the beginning.
