Hi i own a turbo 2000 on an x-reg, and i am slowly buying things for it. its standard apart from a 3'' decat pipe. I bought some silicone vaccum pipe for it and set about replacing the originals. when i replaced the orignals all was fine and then yesterday i went out with the misus. the car drove fine then when i opened it up it didnt seem to running hardly any boost. It never missed a beat and drives spot on it just doesnt pull very hard. Now the engine check light has come on! has anyone else had a simaler problem. Ive checked all the vaccum pipes and dump valve, im guessing its the Y-pipe split but i cant see anything. please help me

ive just been reading about a restrictor pill. Would this make my car not boost properly? If so what pipe do the go in? Cheers

put the original vacuum pipes back on, if you have replaced the boost control pipework you have taken off a pipe with a small olive in (connected to the boost solenoid) that you need to help control the boost
