ok, find that leak. It's only going to up to 0 psi because it can't hold any preasure. And kind of setup do you have? Is it a AFAC, with a one-way valve(aka missing link) on the MAP sensor? Or is the ecu chipped...?

:shock: I'd definetly recommend getting hondata, crome... vafc's and a missing link hacks are very unreliable.

yeah thats my next step...but just for an update, i went outside and played around with my car a little and that tube is sucking air in again, but my gauge is still messed up....My wastegate is leaking because of a seal, which i ordered, and i have the boost gauge tapped off of that from the break booster, could that be why my boost gauge is reading wrong?

where the tube is sucking air. You gotta seal that. Then see if you have anymore issues.

If I'm right, you defitnly need a tune(ecu). I guess for the mean time with the hack, you could raise the throttle. I think the reason the engine almost dies because, the engine is trying to fight with the extra vacum through the tubes(intercooler and turbo). But since the ecu isn't tunned for the turbo, you're going to have ongoing list of problems.

Do the best you can to make it idle, it's going to run like crap when it's cold then even out when it warms up. Hopefully.
