12 is the number I keep seeing. They are only 149up or so. The ops doesn't seem to have enough steam to do that.

LOL. First part, I was saying that when I tested it, with the Mighty vac that when the Mighty vac hit 15 was when the wastegate would start to move, I had to keep pumping up to 25 to get it fully open. But, with all the other stuff I've been working on with the car at the same time, I could not remember if I used pressure or vacume, I'm sure that I did both untill I found the one that actually moved it .

You can see in the video how the boost is acting. The peaking around 15 would corelate to when I saw the wastegate start to open, the 7-8 would have no effect from the wastegate, just normal let off of fuel in normal driving.

Hmm... I guess we are all still wondering why your wastegate seems to be controlled by vacuum... as the 87 is still a pressure actuated WG...

Vs.. like I said, I may have miss spoke. My Mightyvac goes both ways and I switched between vac and boost a couple times as I didn't really know what to expect. I'm sure it was 15 pounds of pressure to open then 25 before it was fully open.

Either way, I at least have some boost now. Still not as much as I should but much better than it was. I can drive the car on the interstate again. Every little thing I'm doing to it is helping, and I just want to get it all tuned in correctly before I start changing anything.

I Ordered new shoes for it today and hope to go to ATL this week to pic up the new rims the car will be wearing.... That will hall a lot also as these old tire aside from being really old are way to big for the car and they have a bad shake that comes and goes. I'm thinking the belt is broken in one.
