What have you done to your MSP today?

hey guys, i gota ? for some of ya, i heard that if your boost gauge has a vac reading your suppose to be able to tell if you have a leak. what is the vac reading suppose to be at and what will it be if you have a leak, mine stays at -10 on start up and goes to -12 in gear when i let off the gas while moving.
That's not low enough. Depending on altitude I have a vacuum reading at idle anywhere between 18-21 mm Hg when fully warmed up. 18 being higher up in the mountains (2100 ft) and 21 when I'm about at sea level (like 6 ft)
 
Today, i installed my new sidemarkers (old ones were blown) and FINALLY figured out how to install those hook springs on the main headlight. Installed my AEM air filter,changed my oil and gave her a wash... phew, what a day. started at noon and finished at 3.
 
Snapped a clean one today.

i just got done unplugging my unichip to pass emissions. tech said the computer wasn't registering and told me to come back after driving 50 miles. but i know its just the unichip lol.

so ive definetely got a leak then at -10. dangit

Either that or your boost gauge is severely out of whack. How's the car driving? I would think with a vacuum reading that low you would have to be feeling some sort of ill effect.
 
it drives ok, i mean ive got a really bad feeling like im towing something sometimes and all of a sudden it just kicks in, i thought it was lag but its not its building boost fast, i guess it might be either from the leak or from running so lean.

probably a leak, usually itll bog down if ur running too rich. if u run to lean, itll just blow up :)

my boost af gauge combo, which im not sure how relaible it may be, says im running lean, even with WOT, not at first but once boost builds up.
