I dropped the car off at a shop today. This goes against everything I believe in but they have experience with supercharged Boxsters and the like. My prediction is that when the car went under boost it blew a vacuum line off somewhere that I just cant find. They are going to smoke test it and fine tune the fuel, wish me luck.

Good luck Ohio!

I don't believe in luck, but I sure do believe in the power of prayer and I'm praying that they find out what's wrong with your car ASAP so we can go for a drive when I come up in a few weeks!

Keep us posted.

The more and more you post, the less and less I would ever try to install my own supercharger.

Im trying not to discourage anyone. Lets see if they say it is supercharger related, will know tomorrow. It ran fine so I know its something simple that I missed. Its a small vacuum leak Im almost positive.

I called the shop today and the guy told me they smoke tested it and the oil filler tube is broken where it goes into the block. I knew that, he told me to relax take a couple of asprin and he will call me tomorrow. He was being funny not a smart alec. I want to know how much money they are going to charge me. I guess the intake is off and they are waiting for the part. Once the oil tube is fixed they better not tell me its done. Could that affect vacuum? He didnt say this was a vacuum leak by the way.
