Vacuum/boost issue
 

So at idle or anything my gauge stays on 0 and at wot my boost numbers are all over the place i checked gauge wires all look good and when u start the car the bypass valve pin should go in right? Idk what the problem is and help?

Leak somewhere.

But where all can it leak from

Intake manifold gasket, any vacuum lines, that kind of stuff. Does the car act funny at all? Could just be a leak by your gauge and nothings really up haha.

Im not sure where to check my bypass valve is fine though

No acts fine just the gauge acts funny and iv replaced a few hoses just incase but didnt change im gonna email aem maybe its the sensor

If i felt around could i find it while its idling

Would be the easiest way, if it's showing 0 then a lot of air should be hissing out somewhere. As you said it might be the gauge, maybe find a mechanical one to test out.

Like one that isnt digital and yea i should have 21-22 vacuum and should hear it if its at 0 i looked the number up on gauge and says its suppost to read boost and vacuum but on paper work doesnt say anything about vacuum

This is exactly why I don't use the electronic boost gauges, more stuff to go wrong haha. Definitely check around where the sensor for the gauge is though.

turn the motor on and let it idle.. spray soapy water over vac lines and points of interest.. see bubbles.. u have a leak

30-4406 is the gauge i have isnt it vacuum also? If i had a leak idk why it would remain 0 and not jump around atleast

it is a vacuum gauge also. where did you tap the line for it? Mine is off of the nipple on the intake manifold.

Make a boost leak tester and hook it up to the throttle body and do a test. With the car off pressurize the system and spray soapy water on anything that could leak. Could be injectors seals tb gasket intake manifold gasket. Something's leaking.

It was a pain to get the intake off id hope i dont gotta take it off lol im still wanting to blame it on the gauge it should show some type of vacuum why exactly 0

Your idle is ok?

Start spraying starting fluid around vac lines and such...idle changes then thats where the problem is

Ill try sumthin tonight i checked everything and felt around and found nuthin ... Its always the lil things

So i took some vids im gonna post up but the damn gauge stays at 4-8 then randomly goes to 0 then when i go wot it goes to 0 and i let off and it shoots to 16 wtf lol

Idk why the uploaded side ways lol

it was on my fone dk if you can even see it ill have to get a better vid but pretty much the gauge is fuckin haunted

Where did you tap for said gauge?

Wher every1 does? I am gettin my gauge exchange they said it could be my sender

I dont know where that is. I guess im different.

Right off the mani lol

Spray minor amounts of propane from a soldering torch around suspected areas while idleing and listen for rpm jump.
