the other day while driving i noticed i was loosing power as soon as i started boosting. i assumed it was a leak in the ic piping because they always blow apart. so i took it all apart and found a big hole in one of the rubber couplings holding them together. so i replaced that and while i was putting it back together i noticed there was a threaded hole on the compressor housing on the turbo. i must have not seen it when i put the turbo on. its for a wastegate signal line, but i have mine running from the ic. so i plugged the hole, and took out my car and it was 10X's faster. and spools up much faster. i cant believe ive been driving around for weeks with that hole unplugged. but it still didnt fix my stalling problem like i hoped it would.

ahahah thats pretty funny! Are you venting your BOV? If so, try recirculating it... it may fix yru stalling probelms. Vacuum leaks elsewear? Try making a leak tester to see, cause not all leaks are visible.
