    if you have aftermarket cams, that will definitly affect your vacuum.

      I know Nissan 84-88 200sx turbo (s12) has a vacuum pump for this reason, but good luck try finding one of these old girl.

        Problem figured out. The car isn't producing vacuum fast enough under performance driving conditions. My tuner said that the Mitsubishi GTO/3000GT had a pretty extensive vacuum reservoir system. He said it was the best thing about that car.(he can't stand them)

        So I am going to try and set up an extra reservoir.

          Larger extra vacuum reservoir = problem fixed.
