Well all fixed,

boost has gone from 0.7 bar red hose to 0.9 bar original hose

The smalled ID pipe would cause a boost drop as it would effectively decrease the 'bleed' to the solenoid and act as a restrictor consequently flowing less 'bled' air causing the actuator pressure to rise easier therefore reducing boost.

I havn't got a boost gauge fitted yet, we used a pneumatic gauge 0-3bar, fed it through the scoop using some spare red pipe and cable tied it to the winscreen wiper

car is totally transformed, how it should be

roll on next rolling road day in january
