I was so proud! But now denial,lol

Well I finally got around to trying to finish my car. New paint, some new trim, a bunch of interior parts ect. I was so close. Then I drove it and smelled fuel. So off came the UIM, rats nest, electrical and I got to the fuel leak. It was a leaking primary injector. Ordered new Viton tubing, some spare solenoids from another memeber and went to the junk yard to get a bunch of newer electrical connectors. A lot of mine were hanging on by two or three strands. I put it all back together and started it up. One the first try it fired up and purrrred like a kitten with warm milk. No check engine lights, I was thinking to myself "not bad' this wasn't so bad, this dreaded rats nest. Put it in gear and off I went. I could hear the turbo spooling the boost came along with a smile to my face. I let it warm up a bit more then I was off to my back street. From a dead stop I floored it the car jumped forward tires grabbing for traction then 4500 rpm approached and there was nothing more not a mouse fart of secondary boost. Well back to the garage for me. So close....

I changed a check valve in the boost control and it fixed mine. Check yours out.

Easy fix....

IIRC its only 3 possible hoses, all you are able to see just by taking the pressure tank off and looking under the UIM.
