connected to the vacuum pump, mine is building up 55hg immediatly at tickover and throughout the rpm range ! What the hell is that ?! My engine behave right the opposite, the more it gets rpm the less it creates vacuum !! I'll chech everything back from the beginning, I certainly have done something wrong...

So just to recap, connected in line from the tgc to the turbo gauge reads 55hg at tickover and starts to decrease to finally reaches 5hg at 2500 rpm. I perform a driving test but obviously, same figures. Just to be sure, hose from the vacuum pump connects to the vacuum port of the tgc and "out" port connects to the turbo, is that correct ?
And as Bernard noticed, I feel confident with the condition of the turbo and just wonders if the vacuum pump has not a problem...

heres a pic of what goes to where, is the gauge working in the opposite direction in your first vid it did show starting at zero.

No Mike it started @55hg and goes to 5hg (on the video, the needle starts at 55hg on the left hand side. that is what is really odd there, vacuum decreases from idle to 2500 instead of increases.
Everything is connected according to the diagram, so no mistake here.

unless i am missing something completely stupid it should read about 5 hg or there abouts as you are on tickover. the vac pump runs off the exhaust cam so as you rev the vac must increase, thats my theory lol.

in your first video the gauge needle moves up as you rev it hits furthest point in the green then starts going back .is that vac gauge okay just a thought.

by pass the engine mounts and connect your vac gauge from the vac pump to the TCV where the engine block is and see what the figures are.

Mike,
The first video is with the engine mounts connected, that's why I told you I will do another video. The second one shows figures with engine mounts bypassed.
So, yes the first video starts at 5hg and raises at 55hg @1100 rpm (which correspond to the tcv closing) and the second video starts with 55hg @ tickover.

Luckily a workmate have a 2002 s60 d5 and came today with the car. I performed a few tests and finally discovered it reacts the same way than mine apart from vacuum figures being a little bit more important (70hg @ idle). It then decreases from 70 to 35 from respectively idle to 2500 rpm.

Either I have a vacuum leak which is doubtful or the turbo has a problem as mentionned by Bernard.

going on the figures that you have said is the VAC pump giving you enough vac, so your friends car is producing 35 hg at 2500 rpm

Do you mind if I call you tomorrow, I have no time tonight. Just tell me what moment you would prefer. Tomorrow morning or afternoon would be easier for me... Keep in mind that it's easier for me to write english than talk by phone but that should be ok as far as you don't have a deep northern accent and local specific vocabulary! Lol !![/QUOTE
