    This is not funny anymore :errr: Since my last post to this problem, I have changed boost solenoid, vacuum pump and manifold MAP sensor. I have checked all the wiring + connectors.

    Boost pressure drops.

    Today I took of the hose to the baro on the firewall, plugged the hose and drove to the part shop to buy vacuum / pressure gauge. No changes. Then I measured vacuum pump. Needle bounced between 5 - 12. I think it should be constant. When I measured, I wasn´t driving and car was idling. Is that...

    Boost pressure drops.

    I checked the engine codes, only 12. Nothing else. There was a MAF in the intake, just after the airbox. I removed it because there where no connections to it. So, it seem that I have engine swap. The baro on the right in the firewall, is for Autometer boost gauge. I ordered new vacuumpump...

    Boost pressure drops.

    Yes, boost drops when I´m accelerating. If I drive like 80 kmh and I want to pass a car, I accelerate, transmission kick down works fine, revs go up, boost goes up, but it drops almost immediately. Even when there is a load on the engine when I´m passing other vehicle. It has never ever done...

    Boost pressure drops.

    I have a 1995 Suburban, 6.5 turbo diesel and it drops the boost pressure. When I accelerate, boost rises up to 3-5 psi and it drops down to zero. I get off the throttle and accelerate again, boost rises. If I ride "nicely", boost will stay in 3-4 psi on highway. Any suggestions ?
