Fuck that, if this were my car I'd have the whole harness out, stripped back, and all the uneccesary wires removed and all the others inspected. Little shit like that leads to BIG problems in the future.

Yup, easiest waterpump I can think of on any car that I've ever worked on. If you're doing the wp though, replace the housing/iron seal as well. Chances are good that the seal will break when you pull the WP.

Look around your engine for open sources. Check your EGR, your twin scroll solenoid, your vacuum solenoid rack...

I don't have the twin scroll anymore but the lines to that are capped off already. I have looked and looked but can't find it that's why I asked. I understand those of you who have removed your emissions don't remember and can't go look lol but someone somewhere on this forum has to have there stock emissions intact still.

This is a simple option, especially if you have a compressor:

I got a gauged single pop with the male compressor adapter. No, it's not free, but believe me it's worth $25.

Boost leaks are usually also vacuum leaks. Idle can suffer greatly from small leaks that you wouldn't notice under boost. They call it a boost leak tester, and yes it allows you to check for leaks by pressurizing the intake, but like I said, boost leaks are usually vacuum leaks as well. But if you want to wait until summer be my guest.
