Ok.

No I am not sure that every vacuum line is good or even still in place. I will be checking that either today or tommarrow. I'm not aware of what size hoses were used to replace the old vac lines. I imagine they were replaced by OEM lines or similar.

I'm gonna check that coolant filler neck and see if I can spot any bubbles. Is thi supposed to be done with the car running/idling/boosting? Will this detect a bad coolant seal in the turbo?

I haven't done the compression as I just got the car home and found this issues. If it can't be resolved at home in 3-5 days I'm gonna drop it off at my mechanic and let him see what's going on.

I also haven't checked the oil but thats a good idea. I'll probably do an oil change tommarrow and see what it's like.

Thanks for all your input. I know I am a noonie on this forum and really do apppreciate the help.
