You may be able to fix it on the cheap by yanking a vacuum pump out of a 4-cylinder Chevy Cavalier. There are probably a bunch of other small-engined cars that have them aside from that.
Sounds like a viable alternative. SSBC wants 395.00 plus tax for their booster kit. What it amounts to is an electric air pump that has to be mounted and wired. The intake gets capped and the pump does all the work. Not quite ready to spend that kind of money. Thanks for the suggestion.
