Cheers Spec'c checked all them when i got home

just been out having another look this time taking all pipes off and putting them all back on again ,then gave it a blast up the Manor Way boost gauge hits 1 bar again so hopefully ive rectified the problem


thanks again Spec'c

I've had the same problem last year & even bought a new turbo only to find one of the pipes kept on blowing off.
glad to hear it's all sorted

Give me a shout mate, and I'l have a look, doubt it's anything serious as there's still some boost, unless the turbo bearings are on the way out, but they'll be screaming.
