:whoa:

Finally got the car back to 100%,i had a HUGE 1/2 inch gash in a vacuum line,got it fixed,got the boost back up to 19lbs..running perfect :-)

my car hates traction though :cry:...40mph stomp it,spin till 60,chirp..gone :-) :lol:

ah, if only I was that close to solving my boost leak problem....mine will boost easily enough...just wont hold it for too long unless its absolutely WOT, and it wont boost worth crap in 1st gear, only at WOT in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th seem fine...its giving me a headache

I have checked all my vacuum lines, its not like there are too many in a 1st gen anyway, I am thinking it might be the 3.0L intake I am using to make the final 180 degree from my cool side I/C pipe to the TB on the 98 DOHC intake manifold....which is getting cut out soon to make it just a 90

What size are they? 215's?
If I was you next time you need new tires get 225+ for the most traction you can get. I know when my stock tires give out i will be getting 225's. Nothing is better than a larger contact patch. Glad to see you got it boosting right.
