Not sure if you were CC'd Dave, but Andrew came up with a rather
elegant solution; tee in a vacuum check valve, into the boost line,
which would avoid trapping pressure in the aneroid chamber. This
would vent manifold vacuum from a separate source, rather than the
ALDA. Another additional option
The latest thread about leaky valve stem seals has gotten me to think
about the presence of pressure and (a little) vacuum in the intake

detected a fair amount of vacuum in the intake off idle until boost

Exhaust guides invariably get more hammered over time, due to the heat

I suppose it's conceivable that you could have a restriction in the
return circuit (blockage or kinked return line) which could create a
pressure build-up causing those tiny lines to leak. They're push-on
lines cuz usually that's a relatively low pressure circuit.

I think Brian's referring to the coolant loop, where it enters the

just held onto the block by two 5mm allen-head bolts, and of course
the fuel and coolant lines themselves. A ball-head type allen wrench
will assist in the removal

I suspect it's just a simple case of overfueling and using
dumb-pumps that lack the computer controls necessary for varying
incremental amounts of fuel per throttle position/load in a more
controlled manner. Those pumps have more than doubled the volume of

The problem with that configuration would be the loss of boost

It would no doubt reduce charge air temps, but at the far too costly
