This is an update on my SC issues. It appears that I broke the oil filler tube at the block which caused a vacuum leak. I cant explain it either but the car is fixed and back on track pulling 16 in/lbs of vacuum at idle. It runs fantastic, heres a picture of the boost gauge after I picked up the car from the shop. I can always tell when there is a problem by this little gauge. If its not pulling the proper amount of vacuum or making proper boost you can pretty much know whats going on. Atleast get in the ballpark. The problem wasnt supercharger related, it was my fault for breaking the tube. Picture of boost gauge 10-27-2006
