Boost leak, but how?

[S13 King]

Well I haven’t driven my car in about 2 months; however I’ve started up every now and then. Well the other day I started it up and it stuttered, on my boost gauge it read about 15vac. So somewhere I have a boost leak. This is odd thought cause when I parked the car it pulled at 20vac as it should. I’ll start going through things once I get the clutch back in it this coming week.Only thing I’ve done to the car was put on a power steering belt which got eaten up. I think that the power steering pump is bolted on with a KA bracket. It sits a slight hair uneven with the crank pulley.

also what is the correct power steering belt size for the SR20? I have a 94 blk top.

If it reads 15 vac instead of the usual 20, you don't have a boost leak, you have a vac leak, I'd check all the vac lines to see if anyones cracked or hardend.

sorry to bring up this old thread back from the dead but, i'm experiancing boost leak. whenever i floor it, the car sounds okay but the thing is it doesn't have that kick to it. my car just speeds up but without the feel of the turbo. i went to sillbeer.com checked my vac lines, they're all good. anything else i should look for?
