Well today I put some new vac lines on my car and before i did this the car was pulling around 12-13 psi and now it is only pulling about 9 psi. What could cause this prob. the new hoses are silicone.

I fixed it. The problem was the silicone hose going to the waste gate. what was happen was when the boost got build up the BCS would put a vac on the waste gate acuater and when it did that it was sucking the vac hose closed and opening the waste gate to soon. So after I fixed it took it for a spin last night Get to a red light on 19 and there is this riced out crx at the light so next thing i know is he is revving at me so when the light turend green I launched it by the time I hit 3rd i was 3-4 cars on him when we got to the next light he stoped and asked me what I had done to it and looked at him with a and said it is a stock turbo. So when the light turned green I launched again and off the launch I pulled 2 cars on him. I guess he dint like the fact of getting beat by a stock car. Because he imedeatly pulled a u-turn and head back north.
