Hey couple questions for you guys does anybody know what the manifold absolute pressure should be at idle and while driving. I believe my map sensor is bad I'm getting like four to two PSI at idle and then while driving under boost a maximum I'm getting is about 17 PSI. My car is jerking on heavy acceleration I'm getting poor gas mileage and I have a severe lack of power. I know my engine is good because I just replaced it 2000 miles ago with an IG stage 2 tuff motor. Also my car is pulling timing but I have zero knock and zero misfires

When I did the rear bushing I used Kartboy, and reinstalling the bolts couldnt have been more of s sketchy pain in the ass, i swear. It's like the bushing wasnt wide enough, so the bolts barely went into the threads on the chassis. I hope I never have to take it off again. And on top of that, after doing all of the shifter bushings I now have slop in the shifter, which is super annoying.
