I guess I should clarify:
The car drives fine under NORMAL condition. This only happens under full throttle around 4.5k.
If i keep the boost low, and keep the car in first, I can hit the red line no problem, but if the engine is under atleast (according to the gauge) 3/4 boost, the gauge goes to full vacuum, the engine loses power, but the RPMs stay high and the car drives on (it doesnt lose speed)
This happens in all gears.
I took off the AMM to turbo hose (Volvo part 3514480) and noticed the under side of the hose right next to the turbo connection is very thin and extremly flexible.
No smoke, smooth idle (just under 1000) perfect under normal driving conditions.
This change anything? I got a good deal on the hose from my local indie, Im putting it on tomorrow in hopes this fixes the problem.
Any additional thoughts are welcomed!
