Hey gang,
Work at a car dealership by myself and the owner's bought an EVO 8. Might be a car some of you are familiar with on this website. Car was originally from Michigan and then was registered in Warminster, PA. Black 2003 EVO 8. Has "In the Spirit of Competition" on the hood. HKS EVC Boost Controller, EGT Gauge, HKS Hi Power Exhaust and other things not visible to me.
Well the car came in running great minus a high clutch release or aftermarket clutch. When it went out to detail, the controller was registering Vacuum and boost. When it came back....the gauge showed max boost limit i guess but it was pegged at zero below that! No Vacuum or Boost and needless to say driving like a DOG. The interesting part here is I guess the boost gauge in the pillar is using a different vacuum line? It still shows vacuum and boost. I am a newb to turbos and boost controllers. Please help. Here is the HKS EVC equipment.

Anyone know where I should start looking to get the controller back up and running? New to turbo cars. No clue. Thank you!
Thanks Tri State Gang,
