02 GTP boost issues

[02GTPanniversary]

Okay so, I just bought a 2002 gtp 40th anniversary I love it, but when I got the car I notice the boost guage only gets to half, and it wont stick, it'll drop and raise while it's WOT.. I unplugged the vacuum line from the solenoid and I get about 90% boost, it'll reach 100%, but drop and raise between 92-100%.. The T connector on the vacuum line below the S/C is cracked and had to be taped, so that could have boost leaks, Hopefully somebody here has a explanation, and also where can I buy the vacuum line w/ the T connectors?

I think you found your own explanation. I got my vac lines here Silicone Hose Kits - 7 colors
You can stick with black or choose a different color to dress it up

I'm debating on either replacing the vacuum line w/ the T connectors, or replacing the solenoid.

The T connector on the vacuum line below the S/C is cracked and had to be taped,

I would replace the vac lines and T first.

Agreed.

Unplug the electrical connector to the solenoid to see if your boost goes up.

The connector and the vacuum line both? Or plug the vacuum line back in, and just unplug the connector?

With the vacuum line connected and the eletrical unplugged, only get half boost, with the vacuum line unplugged i get bout full boost

The only way to truely check boost is to use an actual boost gauge. Don't rely on that little bar on your dic.
