Finally replaced cracked boost gauge vaccum hose..

and the car feels a lot quicker. Seriously. Am I imagining it? I got the car with a piece of electric tape wrapped around a leak in the hose. Finally replaced it with new hose today and the car felt like it found 20bhp. Even before the turbo kicked in. I don't know if vacuum leak would hurt power (and at what rpm) but I'll take it! Although I admit I might be completely delusional.
