Funny thing is, i looked at my vac gauge when it was idleing, and there was no fluctuation at all, rock solid and the same vac as i would always get.

Jordan seems to think it could possibly be a leaking injector. I tried swapping injector clips, but i didnt swap injectors to a diffrent cylinder.

I am almost finished swapping in my spare engine, so i will find out if its an injector issue tomorow when i go to fire it up. I didnt touch the injectors, just pulled the intake off and left them assembled.

Ill keep you guys posted just incase anyone was wondering!

Then you should be able to run your pump for a moment and see the injector leaking at the manifold port. :D

Yes i plan to do this tomorow(today). Shaodome was thinking that this poping in the intake might be caused by a leaking injector. Ive never really heard this before so how exactly does a leaking injector cause a back fire to come through my intake and out of the INLET of my compressor on my turbo?

Thanks again for the help!
