Default k27 project runs, low vacuum

4" of vacuum?? Other than that no water or oil leaks, started right up and ran fine, only drove around the block twice at 4psi at the most, still low vacuum, what's a good way to pressure test this system?

BTW also I installed a new TPS if that matters.

Strange that just changing the turbo you'd have low vacuum. Certain there's no leak somewhere in the intake anywhere? It's probably somewhere between the throttle-body and the valves.

Ahhh, you might want to talk to Danno. GURU is getting some AWESOME numbers with k27 chips. I'll let Danno give out the numbers as I wouldn't want to mislead, but they are big.
