hello all more problems lol

car was fine this morning boosting good as she allways does,goes into the gym done my thing then on the way home i booted her but she felt like the map was non existant.and the boost gauge only goes just past half way? got home and found the pcv pipe had come out of the main air pipe leading from turbo, so i took the air filter off and the pipe leading to the turbo to make it easier to get the (square with one rounded edge) back in , tightened everythin up and shes still the same? the boost gauge only goes just over half way???

help please , bloody car is driving me nuts

cheers matey i never thought to check the codes ive never had that happen before...all is well and neighbours got a good earfull of boooost lol

i rotated the air pipe clockwise slightly to fit a sierra cosworth air filter = i heard a pop like a hose coming off . i checked all over but couldnt see anything. it must have loosened the pipe connection and its worked its way off

panic over time for a cold one cheers matey :)
