Daughter reports revs of close to 4000 before any change of gears in general driving. This has been since a loss of boost issue was seemingly rectified by changing the vacuum lines and boost solenoid for new. When I have been in the car it seemed it could have been an intermittent problem, or just being caused by her "lead" foot, but I am assured it wasn't the same before the "turbo" issue.
Edit: further discussion indicates only 5-10psi boost on acceleration. It is an aftermarket gauge that had a kinked hose at one stage, so I don't totally trust the readout, though I guess a partial vacuum leak would be a good starting point to be looking for.
Are there any simple things that I can be checking before taking it to the mechanics?
Cheers gurus.
