i gonna see on my vsv to be sure they work propely as i have a problem to get the 2nd turbo to come online, sometimes it comes, but not on the 3800 -4000 range as it should, sometimes it comes online about 5000 rpm, and other times it comes as it should, about the 3800 - 4000 rpm range

 

when i put the car in ttc mode, i now i am eliminates the vsv from the system, but when i put it in ttc mode, the egcv vsv and the iacv vsv stayes open.. from the other engine i had those vsv closede within a week, mean that there should be a leak somewhere, and with the new engine, the vsv stayes open, iven after a week, so that should mean that i dont have a leak somewhere... so that leads me back to some vsv dont work as they should..

 

and to the vacum leak.. when the engine idle, if i get it a little rev, not much it disserpers total.. when it is hot it is very diffcault to hear, but when cold, easy to hear.. it really sounds like i have a vacum leak, by the intake manifold somewhere.. i have tried with brake cleaner to hear if the engine show sign off a leak by the idle will raise.. but it dosent, so is i posible to have a leak, that dont make the idle raise when i trie with brake cleaner

Correct

 

but when i put it in ttc mode, the egcv vsv and the iacv vsv stayes open..

 

Wrong. The VSVs (vacuum solenoid valves) are bypassed, the EGB and IAC valves will be open

 

from the other engine i had those vsv closede within a week, mean that there should be a leak somewhere, and with the new engine, the vsv stayes open, iven after a week, so that should mean that i dont have a leak somewhere... so that leads me back to some vsv dont work as they should

 

So what your saying is, the engine has sat for a week and the valves both closed? Or you're using the car every day and after a week they closed?

i dont use the car every day, it can be in the garage a whole week not bearing driven.. and if i did that with the old engine, the valves close within that week, with the new engine, the valves stayes open when the week is over..

 

and i have it in ttc now, just to make sure is was not a turbo problem

Work out where the system takes pressure from near the stock recirculation valve. Apply pressure there after disconnecting the hose from the plenum of course, first. You only have 2 pipes to choose from ;) You DID say you were doing this to learn.... ;) A Mityvac is not suitable, you need an airline source, regulated down to no more than 20PSI.
