ok for now i went and picked up a cheap pressure guage for about $8.
now the inlet manifold eh? ok, i'm looking at my haynes here, um,
could you maybe suggest a hose? i.e. air bypass hose, egr vacuum
hose, vacuum hose..... since i thought it should come off the
wastegate i'm kinda hesitate as to which hose i should even
consider. the haynes manual has a section for checking the boost and
the wastegate but the pic looks like the hose is coming from the
pressure exchange solenoid valve... it also says to connect it to
the intake pipe pressure hose.. i'm kinda stumped here. sorry, i
guess i'm a little thick on turbos yet...
