yea i made sure i put the retrictor pill into the new pipe from the old one and put it back on the compresser side . i know there is a swicth inside the car that controls the the box that the pipe goes to like its a electronic boost control or somthing . tbh im thinking of taking it of and running the pipe straight to the boost solinoid like it should be from the factory

had a look in your garage.

It looks like a boost control solenoid but it is not plumbed in..

I would remove

thanks for that im going to take it off and run the pipe straight to the boost solinoid like it is as standard . manily as i dont use it any way and it sounds like its more to go wrong and id rather just have it maaped to one boost level
