Drove great, but no boost. Interior is excellent, some rust starting in the wheel arches, but nothing I'm concerned about. 147k miles. And the wife loves it. That's the biggest hurdle.
It had a couple issues - seat relay, headlight relay, busted seatbelt, light bulbs - ordered all those parts today.
But the weird one is the lack of boost. Last night, it had about 2 psi during test drive. Now nothing and the gauge stays right in the middle. So no vacuum. I replaced the missing PCV bushing, but no change. Didn't have my tools with me to take the dash cap off to check the vacuum hose on the back of the boost gauge, so I went through the engine looking for hoses off. The only thing I found was that the T where the blow off valve should be has a wine cork instead of a BOV. What's up with that? It has a manual boost controller - that could also be the problem. Any other ideas? Wastegate rod seems connected.
