both good and bad.

 

Found a major leak in the seal for the metal pipe that connects to the plenum on the underside just behind the drivers side throttle body. One of the bolts was loose. It was a PITA to do but now thats tight and sealed. Sorted. Found another leak..... Its coming from a rubber pipe about 2 inches long right at the back of the engine, passenger side under what I think is called the AIV valve near the battery....... how the fook do you get to that :rant:

 

Need to get that sorted asap. I still can't pressurise the system very high, maybe only 2 - 3 psi (crap guage).

 

Anyway, took for a spin after sorting the first one and I'm still only getting full boost at around 4.5k rpm.

 

Help appreciated guys and gals

A small leak won't make much difference to general running (except tickover perhaps), as the engine flows a huge quantity of air. Obviously, no leaks are better though.
