here we go…now my car doesnt like to start without messing with the throttle. i have to go wide open, then shut it a bit and itll fire. then i have to keep on the gas to keep it alive. any ideas? it doesnt seem to be boost leaking. could a bad turbo gasket or wastegate gasket cause this? also my boost gauge only reads vacuum. when i give it gas itll jump up to 0 then back to vacuum. any ideas?

did you check your tps? .5 at idle and 4.5 @ full throttle. I think thats what is was.

Vaccuum = good. Boost gauge is working properly. You wont see boost until you “stump” on it dirving.
