I have been in the process of trying to get all the vacuum lines back in their original/stock locations. The car is running better, However, I am now getting the Engine Warning Light accompanied by the "Overboost" warning buzzer under heavy acceleration. The green "Turbo" light comes on and I can hear and feel the boost then if I continue acceleration the buzzer and warning light happens Any idea what vacuum hoses ultimately control the wastegate actuation to dump off boost? I see 2 lines originating below and slightly forward of the turbo. The smaller of the 2 and forward-most is connected to the main metal vacuum line coming from the rear of the engine. The larger of the 2 lines and rear-most is not connected to anything. I was informed by another FEF member that the larger line was supposed to connect to a fitting on the base of the aircleaner in the rear. The manual I have does not show the routing of either of these lines but describes the larger line as the "rear wastegate actuator vacuum line"
Anyone have any ideas what my problem is? It apperas that the wategate is not functioning and allowing the excess boost to dump off. I am not familiar with how this works but I suspect it has something to do with these 2 vacuum lines and how they ar connected.
Thanks,
Mark
