Why car not boosting?

[SoCalRyder7]

I can provide a picture later on... cant access it at work. Yes the WGA appeared to be perfectly fine when the flap(the round peice) was stuck open

Thats what it probably is then; after 140k mi. I wouldn't be surprised. I know its not the vac lines because i replaced them ALL when i had a small boost leak in one of the hoses. And i know it isnt the turbo because the wheel spins smoothly with no play.

Also, what the process of having to remove the turbo? I understand that there is an oil feed and a coolant feed that goes into the turbo, do i need to drain the oil and the coolant. Are these part fragile and easy to break? Are any parts fragile and easy to break? Did you guys need any special tools? Any tip, tricks and/or advice to make the process smoother?

after you hook up the boost gauge the vac pull should be around 20 psi at idle

20in Hg that is.

This should give you a better idea what my issue was and might be your issue
