My forge unos mbc won't seem to boost over 1 bar (14.5 psi) anymore, have tried it on 3 cars so its definetly the mbc, dunno whether its knackered or whether it needs a stiffer spring, anyone got the other spring they didnt use? i only got one with mine
This is bad timing with york in a couple of days

Yep i guess so, just a bit worried that you have managed to break something no one else has lol, and you got no testing time dont think its a good idea to whack it on and test it one the 1/4 might have to find a quiet road somewhere before hand.
