I started my car today with my Paxton. When I tap the gas, it goes deeper into vacuum, instead of boost and my fuel gauge goes down, instead of up (It's set at 50psi with the vaccum hose plugged in). I have my blow off valve plugged into one of the vacuum ports and the tiny port located on the top drivers side of the intake is where I plugged my boost gauge in.

So the vacuum ports I am talking about are the 4 symetrical ports on in the front of the intake above the thermostat. I originally capped off the ones I wasn't using but my car isn't running right. Sputtering and sounds off.. My experience tells me it is those vacuum lines causing it so I need to figurre out how to plug them or how to rout them.

The 4 vacuum ports originally went to the emissions charcoal canister. I removed all that crap.

Thanks!
