on the driver side in the engine bay, look for a vaccum which is leading to a small box its at the far back at the firewall you shud be able to see it easily. check to see that the vaccum is not cracked or is in properly.

mine stopped cuz it came out lol

My car has just done this aswell... It is a stock series 1 Gtst33 though... it will move about 2mm from -7, thats all!

But the car still runs fine and boost seems to come on fine so i gathered it would be electrical...

check to see that the vaccum is not cracked or is in properly

Would this mean the car wouldnt run as good/hard? Cause as i said mines running like always has.

Well i checked it out and it's connected there fine( near the firewall) the only problem i'm having is that it's not connected at the other end the hose looks like it goes to the back of the engine so does any one know exactly where it goes??

does this mean I'm losing power because there is a vacume leak??

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
