740T

in the last 10 K miles i'v been noticeing that it's idle isent as smoth.
Also in the last 3-4 K miles when at an idle (most of the time it dosen't matter if it's hot or cold)it's been idleing around 1200 RPM's also the Vac used to sit around -17-19 PSI and now it's around 12-13 psi.
furthermore it still seem pretty *strong* on pickup but it's feeling a bit more slugish, 10K miles ago i could run down the freeway in 5th gear (it's a manual YAY!) down the freeway in 5th gear doin 70 and the vac was around -15 and all you had to do was Touch the throttle and she'd get up and Go! (i took the rocky mountans on I-90 over the devide @ 115 in 5th Not floored and still had room to boost harder i think thing it was only boosting @ 5-10 PSI (i was keeping my eyes on the road) now inorder to climb less steep hills i have to run a couple PSI of boost. and in a strait away in 5th it's only running around 1-2 LBS Vac insted of like 10K miles ago where it would be at ~18 PSI vac. throttle responce seems to be lagged a little more aswell i'd say 0.25- 0.5 sec Then the tach starts to climb. any help? any ideas Thanks So much!
