I could use some input from the turbo guru's. I just replaced the stock hard plastic vaccuum lines with silicon lines. the lines in question run from the WG to the intake mani with a T for the bypass valve. the car still idles @ 24 vaccuum but I am recording boost spikes to 9 that settle to 7.5. my boost gauge is on a seperate line that feeds into the TB. before replacing the lines boost would spike to 7.5 and settle to 6psi. the car definatly pulls harder too. I did not have and leaks prior to replacement and have no leaks now either. I do not have a boost controller installed either. any ideas guys?
