big vacuum leak
we finally got my turbo replaced and everything put back together. now when i start my car, it seems that i have a big vacuum leak because the car wont hold an idle. we tried adjusting the TPS and the BAC, but the problem seems to be happening before those systems even get a chance to help it. could anyone show me a picture of the vacuum hoses on the backside of the engine? if not is there anywhere that we can find a diagram of the vacuum system?

will yours rev up at all you hit the gas? i think i might have intake leaks too, mine wont hold idle and will not rev past ~1000rpms. i dont get it though b/c i removed most vacuum stuff and was very carefull putting it together.
anyways... vac diagram is in factory manual and i think haynes too. factory manual is at fc3s.org
or you could try using propane to find vacuum leaks...

Well if youre sure you checked the TPS and BAC correctly...I dunno. Ive got a copy of the 89-91 T2 FSM on CD. If you want to meet somewhere, its yours.
