any suggestions as to the most common vacuum line to pop off??
stock sequential setup. second turbo does not come on line. have a boost guage and see the initial spike in boost followed by the drop, but it never rises again. had all the stock lines zip tied and replace with silicone a few years ago, just looking for a likely culprit before i pull the manifold and start searching.

It's dark like Poe.
I'm having the same problem. Check the lines to the vacuum chamber. I checked ALL my lines and found no leak... so now I'm thinking it's a missing/turned/otherwise FUBARed restrictor pill.
God, smog is just a month away for me... I'm half tempted to just go single. Two more times under the car, two more WHOLE days, I think, and then everything's coming out.

I'm deeply skeptical that zip ties have any effect on non barbed lines (and pretty much all FD hard vacuum lines have no barbs). I could not detect any difference when removing stock versus zip tied lines.

the best way to prevent a vacuum/pressure line from coming off is to use the smallest, tightest hose you can fit on the barb. You should be struggling to even get that thing on it's so tight. Zipties are of limited usefulness. This has been confirmed by me with pressure tests on a single turbo car that sees 18psi.
