Help!!! Vacuum Leak!
ok... so i pulled a CEL last night for "system too rich (bank 1)" i am almost positive it is a vacuum leak.. but i cant find it! i pulled the tmic off, no problems down there, i checked all the lines to the intake, i checked all the lines off the turbo, and i even made sure the line to my boost gauge was on tight. any other spots i should look at?

get a can of brake cleaner, or carb cleaner,
while the car is idleing spray SPARINGLY
as in very very little amounts around all your vacuum lines
you will find the area of the leak when the car idles up !
its a great way to find the leak but b careful brake cleaner is very flamable
