Guest bigrs Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Your plumbing is correct, reading on tick over in vacuum seems correct also. Could be few reasons why your experiencing no Positive boost pressure when turbo spools up, either faulty gauge, or not enough boost set, fooked turbo, or faulty actuator, faulty amal valve. Have a good look around engine bay for anything amiss. Std rs turbo lump and ecu on series 2 engine produces 7 psi of boost, try another gauge.

Guest steelcabby Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 if it was boosting at 0 your know about it. it wouldn't pull for buggery. sounds like faulty gauge. or maybe a kink or cut in the gauge line?? is it connected into the back of the gauge properly with no leaks??

Guest Cabbytech Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Sometimes the pipe has been known to gum up, might be worth checking that its clear, the car itself sounds like its ok, otherwise it could be a faulty gauge like others have pointed out.
