If your noid doesnt seal in vac like that you probably should get a different one. Like the Mac style rather than the IR one. Its kind of surprising that the valve is that common for this use and doesnt seal in vacuum. You might be able to get some improvement in the seal by putting some air tool oil into one of the ports and cycling the noid a few times while blowing through it.

Is the input line coming from the intake manifold? If so I totally don't understand that logic. There are debates on if the source of boost for the valve should come before or after the intercooler, but I can never see why it would be a good thing to have it after the throttle. Perhaps I don't understand your set-up.

My turbo doesn't have a vacuum port on it.. Will I need to possibly buy a flange with a vacuum line in it or maybe drill/tap into the flange I have or something?

I'm going to make a gopro video of my Artech exhaust and post that tomorrow... I guess that'll keep me busy for an hour or so and then I'll go back to waiting for the UPS guy

Just have some patience and step away from the project for a while. No use stressing over something not in your control. Trust me, when I had to put projects on my car on hold for a couple days it helped me take a little mental break.

<<<@!1!@>>>
Yeah I will take a little break and concentrate on some work things for a couple days. Once my wideband arrives early this week I can take my time installing that and putting my interior back together. I still have my MS on the passenger floor so I would like to permanently install that and get the rest of my interior back together haha
Made an exhaust clip today (Crappy cell clip because I forgot my GoPro at home)
I think its rattling a little so I will have to put the car in the air to double check that

Something I tried doing lately is just work on it for like 15-30 minutes a day and no more. Keeps me interested and let's me also keep on top of work and school. Saw a really good video the other day about a guy who worked on his saab 15 minutes a day for 20 years and did a full frame off restoration.

Especially when the car is sitting right outside my office door and it gets slow at work... I walk right out into the garage and start tinkering lol
Today I pulled up my boost control settings and table. Can anyone take a look and let me know if I should change anything?!?! I want to start out tuning it for low boost... say <10lbs. Should I change anything?
