How many inch punds is the vacuum pump suppose to have? Mine is about 13 inch pounds. I have heard around 20 is normal. And what problems would arise if it is too low? Thanks

Where are you taking the reading?

If you are taking it at the wastegate pod line, I think that is about right. If you are taking the reading at the line from the vacuum pump to the WGS and you are reading 13", then you might need a new vacuum pump...:eek:

Maybe someone else that still has a vacuum pump can verify / debunk my thoughts!

The measurement is from the vacuum pump.:confused:

Should be 25" at the pump. I would change the pump at 13" but check your vaccum line from the pump to the Wastegate solenoid first. :)
