i hope you're kidding....
if not, at idle the boost gauge will read *20* vacuum pressure... i.e. NO BOOST
if it still reads vacuum under acceleration you've got a problem. My guess wiring and/or MAJOR boost/vacuum leak lol

ok guys thanx... i want to be able top beat 911 turbos wit just sum more boost fluid and a tune.... is it safe to just pour the fluid in the pipe??? how much do i put in???
walmart is having a sale on 3 quarts for $29.97.
Well if you put some in your intake you get better pre boost, some in the charge pipe to get better driving boost and if you just squirt a tad in the exhaust manifold you'll get hella better boost on the top end. Ebay may have some but its usually a chinese knock off.

when she gets the tune tell her to go race a 997 911 turbo or zr1 or gt-r she'll smoke all of them. tuned lnfs are prolly the fastest things in the world.

boost fluid is just a 50/50 mixture with meth and transmission fluid. its cheaper if you make it yourself..i use windshield washer fluid and transmission fluid.
you know that high pitch whine you get when you go in reverse..thats fine..thats just your muffler bearing working backwards

No you need to flush the system! you probably put in too much fluid!
try getting a large bowl of water, and put your intake in the water and crank the car again, the intake should suck up the water and cleanse your engine!
Hope this works

yeah, only 13.8. Funny you mention that, I was actually pushing my car down then 1/4 mile at that time posted. What gives?? 
Now that I'm tuned though, with no interior and charge pipes that weigh 2 grams, I should be quicker. Keeping by fingers crossed.

I think the best way to flush out the cars engine (and the easiest way) is to drive you car into your neighbors pool while its running. THe car will shut off after a moment being submerged, thats ok, you just need to stay in the car and keep turning the starter over. this is how you get lots of chlorinated water into the turbo and the charge piping and the intercooler to flush out the old boost fluids.
Its difficult to get the car back out of the pool, but still not as difficult as trying to pull the motor apart to change the boost fluids manually. on a side note, you car will be super clean inside and out!
