Secondary boost question

I think I may have found the rest I'm short about 5-7 psi during secondary boost operation.

Basically I found a vacuum hose that wasn't changed when the previous owner did the rats nest and there is about 2 inches missing in the middle! Its the hose that comes from the intake manifold extension, the upper one of the three. And it goes into the ypipe right behind the CRV. Not sure where it goes once it goes thru the manifold, but I do believe the back part of the y is the secondary turbo. Am I right or have I just found another problem and need to keep troubleshooting?

Normally I'd put everything back together and try it but I split the in and out sections of hose of the CRV, so have to run around and find replacement! Anyway thanks in advance!

Print out a big copy of the colored vacuum diagram -

and go to work. Make sure the hoses are routed right and you've got good check valves in there (I sell replacement Viton check valves, PM me if interested) and go through everything.

Right now, just off your description, you may have some things routed improperly. Go line by line through the vacuum diagram and check things and I think you'll have it figured out quick!

I already replaced my check valves with yours and swapped all the solenoids real Ted to the secondary. While I was changing out my y-pipe I found one hose that had not been changed out and it was missing about 2inches in the middle. Conveniently right where I couldn't see it until today. 3 dollars of hose later and I finally have a perfect 10-8-10 boost pattern!

Thanks everybody on the forum who have answered my questions over the last year! This place is awesome!
