hmmm.. I'll have to print this thread off when I actually get time to attempt this.. any other gaskets worth changing while I'm at it? Throttle body maybe?

Also I checked boost at 4250 RPM and it was at ~9 PSI which seems right, would a intake gasket show a greater boost loss?

0w-30, XD-3 Diesel engine oil.. I think its called something else now though.. synthetic, has to meet more stringent engine standards (since its primarily for diesels) then Mobile 1 and is basically half the cost. Just don't get the fancy stickers and advertising.. Oh and sometimes you can only buy ...

Guy from Delta Cams and a 94 legacy he says he beats $30k cars with.. though he called it slow.. :cry: Would have liked to see him race around, I love watching cheap cars with good drivers beat expensive ones with bad drivers! http://octaneacademy.com/video/underpowered-cars-mad-driving-skillz-upset...

When you were spraying the hoses, did you try spraying starting fluid around where the intake manifold attaches to the heads? That would help you figure out if it's one of those gaskets. My old Legacy had an idling problem when I got it and it turned out to be the driver side intake manifold gasket...

So.. I obviously have a vacuum issue.. If I had used my brain earlier I would have realized that my boost gauge (as old as it is) is only showing about 14/15 -inHg at idle when warm.. from everything I've read.. it should be around 19/20... would explain my shaky idle/engine and poor city fuel econo...

Well I did the following: Plugs, Wires, Oil (Fluid and Filter), Fuel Filter, Manual Transmission Fluid, Rear Diff Fluid and Air filter. The plugs were champion (wouldn't put those in a lawn mower!) but in generally good shape when they came out. The only fluid that was showing wear was the rear diff...

Well I tried listening for the noise, but I let it idle with me scrutinizing the engine bay for 5 minutes with no sound except the motor itself.. but when I went to pull away it made it... to me the sound is like air being evacuated by something... is the ABS run off of a vacuum? I also noticed that...

Starts shaking like its gonna stall out, and it happens when I let off the clutch while its in gear. I normally let it warm up for about 30sec or so... I'll try the reving thing before I leave work today, maybe the injectors don't work so well on the first go of the day? The shh noise comes from the...

Great website you have going on here, so much useful information. I recently picked up a 94 Legacy Turbo, 5mt, ABS with 142,000 km on it (like new!). Run's pretty great considering. 1st gear and reverse is a little hard to get into sometimes but that seems normal on these transmissions... The issue ...
