Shes now ma daily and running sweet, and from the saying 'Once you boost you will never go back', i dont think i ever will
One small prob, it only pulls about 14 in of vaccuum at around 800rpm idle..
Why is it so low?
Could this be a problem?
Cheers Matt
Edit, Oh it was pulling like 18-19 on the few first starts without an exhaust? Now with it connected up to my 2 1/4 inch POS only about 14, could this be why?

theres always teething probs when you do a conversion in any car

but its looking good though your nearly finished :shock: 8)

gave it a clean today, looks nice, but the front still really needs to be lower:

Also my compression tester arrived today and i got 165 psi across all 4 cylinders, happy with those numbers and none varying below 160.
So its not an engine related problem with the low pulling of vaccuum their may be a leak in the mani gasket or a restriction (possibly exhaust).
