Boost Pressure drop - Melted sensor cable to blame?
I've noticed my boost gauge showing 0.3 - 0.5 bar less pressure than she was mapped to however not noticed any drop in performance. Inspection under the hood showed the boost sensor hose was running right past the turbo and downpipe (the down pipe has no heat shield due to 3" upgrade) and has melted into a concave shape and went rigid.
I've recently been on a track day and she was puttin out some serious heat.
Do you think this drop in pressure at the gauge is down to the melted pipe. And how would I avoid it in future? Maybe put some exhaust heat wrap on the down pipe?
