Car has finally been fixed!!! Took the car to Windex.
I replaced the actuator since it was not holding vacuum. As it turns out my used replacement was bad as well. Luckily Windex was able to hook me up with a good working used actuator.
Even after the actuator replacement and adjustment the car still had the negative boost deviation.
Windex checked over all the vac lines again and all were ok. Took off the egr boot and egr itself and it was clogged pretty bad. Windex cleaned er out (thanks Adam for the late night on wed!) put it all back together and car ran a lot better but still somewhat sluggish.
Re-checked the vac lines- removed the small check valve from the N75 and determined that it was completely clogged. Windex used a drill bit to clean it out and put it back in and then took the car for test drive....wow...a new car. Thing has so much power!!! I can see why the auto tranny's go bad.
Thanks again Adam for all the help and knowledge you shared.
Next, I will be installing the new skid plate from THETDIWAGONGUY, changing oil, fuel filter, slight actuator adjustment and...o ya...my annoying 'not working cruise' issue.
