I took the car up to a fellow Saaber in CT. who has the same tune. His car is a bat out of hell!! My car was just Hell!!. We decided to adjust the boost back a bit. I was unclamping the hose between cobra pipe and BPV and snap!! I broke off the connection between delivery pipe and BPV. Hmmm...I'm a strong guy but not that strong to just snap it off...We got some 2-component compound and "welded it back" Guess what? there was my air leak!! right above the IAC. wouldn't show up at idle just on boost. Well boost it back...Mileage is up...we spend a couple of hours dialing in the boost. after 3 years of lousy gas mileage and pickup like a toyota camry, It's finally back!!
JAK did a great job getting me through the process over the phone. The MAF was bad...and the base boost was off. He said there's gotta be a vacuum leak (I changed EVERY HOSE) And I've been removing that connecting hose for years as I work on other car problems...goes to show...don't overlook the obvious
