Rough idle and no vacume?

[Gravy]

Don't have access to a timing light... but i dont' see how timing being off causing the issues i'm having with the idle and rough start. When we got the car it didn't start right, just coughed it up to being an old car. Now, who knows, and who cares. As long as it turns over it's all good.

I checked the timing 4 times when i installed the belt, i'd be willing to bet a kick in the nuts from everone on the board that it's on. But i'll check shortly. Car is going to Febo tomorow by the sounds of it, but i'm sure the timing is on.

I re-adjusted the BISS and fixed the exauhst leak... kinda. Got the full spool to 3k ish with one exauhst stud missing. Found the issue i think... i had the vacume lines going as follows,

Boost source from turbo elbow to a T going to the MBC and the intake.... don't ask the car was in 200 parts when i first did it. Didn't know 1 pull of 17 psi could turn your manifold glowing orange.... :-D Set it to 14 psi and drives like a champ.

lol

I would think the Intake cam is off a little, which could cause the ignition timing to be retarded, or they are both off, either way if your compression is lower then before with the same gauge and tested in the same way something is not right. I would try to get a logger on there also to see if something looks off with the ecu/sensors.
