hi people

I'm running a 9-5 2.3T SE LPT GT17, tuned to 230BHP.
does anyone know what sort of pressure i should be getting???:confused:
on my Boost gauge im hitting 10PSI MAX:cry: , i have a funny feeling i have a air leak somewhere.

Does anyone have a check list of parts and locations to check for boost pressure leaks??;)


Cheers all:lol:

Perhaps you can contact the tuner and they can tell you what you should be expecting.

check every vacuum hose to make sure they are all connected. I went through many things, even the hoses once and then so happened to notice a vacuum hose disconnected. I was only at ~9psi with my aero, after putting that hose on, im at ~14psi with my stage 1 ecu (270hp, 295ft lb). So actually 10 psi doesnt sound all that bad..?
