You said that you can "hear" the turbos on the trans brake, but is it making boost?

My turbo will make LOTS of noise well before I actually see the boost gauge move.



x2 on that. Mine sounds like a jet on the tarmac before the gauge dips into boost, if you didn't have the gauge you'd swear it was boosting.
I'm EFI, but I have a tiny vac line behind the throttle blades for mine and it idles down the fuel psi under vac and goes 1:1 up when into boost. The reference line size wasn't an issue for me at least. I temporarily removed my under hood gauge and put it on the end of the 3' braided line tucked under my wiper arm to verify things were kosher.
