Lost 0.2 bar boost
1996 Wrx Sti
When i was test driving the car, it was boosting to 0.9 bar, once i bought the car the gauge (greddy) was taken off as it wasnt a part of a deal.
Fitted the boost gauge (greddy) 2 days ago and i only seem to be able to get 0.7 of a bar . Everything else was kept as is.
I plumbed into the tube that goes from the top of the aftermarket dump valve and into the manifold as it already had a connector in there, so i supposed the boost gauge was previously connected there.
However i did use a 1/8" T piece, can this be causing this as its too restrictive, or it shouldnt matter ?
