hi all changed all my vacum pipe's today for after market silicone hose today on my 97 ver 3 sti, but on my drive home found car won't boost over 0.6 bar where as it used to peak at 1.3 then drop back to 1.0 bar and hold fine, all pipes are on in the correct order as a changed one at a time and all fitted securely!!! have i missed somthing, is there a restrictor in one of the pipe's or could the pipe be to small (it's 2mm i think!!)

There is a pill in one of the vac pipes, either on the one of the bottom of the boost solonoid or the one that comes of the top of the turbo. No doubt someone with a brain will corect me shortly.
