    OEM Boost Gauge stuck? - & car bogging?

    I drove my car to be stored on saturday afternoon, and while driving i seen my boost gauge
    was stuck/ or staying at ''0'' for some reason.. the batery and old temp gauge were both working...

    then randomly, sometimes this happened, at lower RPM the car would bog out.. id give it gas and it would just bog for a sec or so, then all of a sudden it would rev up fine?

    I parked it for the winter so i cant do anything untill spring but does anyone have any ideas?
    -Bad connection on the coils maybe? i dont really know..


    Thanks in Advance!

    sounds to me like your boost solenoid is going. its on the drivers side firewall right beside the vin plate. if its not working properly then your car will go into limp mode

        Lol. Your vaccuum line is probably broken. Follow the line to the very back of the plenum side after the throttle bodies.
        Dang! You got shocks, pegs... Lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

                Little box thing on firewall infront of driver in engine bay. Has a plug on it and vacuum hose off it, that I think goes to around AACV somewhere on intake manifold??? That hose has to be off intake manifold.

                Are you sure you haven't blown the exhaust wheel on turbo??? When exhaust wheel is not there the boost gauge doesn't go above 0.

                  Thx,

                  Ill check that today, and let u know!

                  As for exhaust wheel on turbo, i don't think so.. The car still has all the same power and runs the same as before...?
