Typical mate Was that Halfrauds ?

You could always have a quick drive by Clive Athowe and see if they can do a quick diagnostic ?

[RX7]

Do the Scoobys have restrictor pills in the piping also ? I seem to remember with the Rex if you took it out then it didnt boost properly.

[Ben]

seriously I think it's a fault with the boost gauge.

Ben just looked at the pic of where your boost pipe is going to is the cable tie to the left a bit tight looks like it could be restricting the pipe.

[RX7]

Isnt the cable tie holding the blue pipe onto a T piece ?

[mikeb]

Sorry mate second picture no blue pipe there

[Ben]

Lol, yep second pic is the recommended place on a later car. On mine it's plumbed off the actuator pipe prior to entering the boost solenoid. I'm going to move it to the inlet manifold tomorrow and see what happens.

on the pic of the front of the turbo you have the boost line cming off and feeding into a t-piece which then goes to the actuator and boost solenoid............
just before the "T" there is a white paint mark on the pipe, around this area (or somehwere in this pipe) is a brass restrictor pill............

Replumbed off the inlet manifold, no difference in reading BUT find that the restrictor pill is still installed in the pipe - I have left it presently. Removing this I guess will up the boost as it did on the GTR.

I have a spare blitz mechanical boost gauge if you want to borrow it? I know it works as well.
