Default I have tried 3 different N75 valves that I know work. I will double check my plumbing
but I am 99% sure it is correct. I have the diagram and went right off that. Whats up Carter, Psyched about the wheels!!!

Default Was it plugged when you ran MBC only?
I suspect (as others) you have a leak in the WG line.

Default no it wasn't plugged when running MBC only. I put epoxy on it last night,
plus I have a spare that has a check valve as well. I tried them both. What does plugging the hole do anyway?

Default I agree, but unfortunately I don't think that woudl fix my overboosting problem,
especially if I have a boost leak on a WG Line.

If I had a WG leak would I hear it from under the car if I did a pressure test?
