when i first fitted the mbc to my t5 it was running at around 1.0bar and spiking to 1.1
but in the last couple of days iv noticed that it is now only pulling 0.6 bar so im guessing i have a boost leak and want to check this first before i start playing around with the mbc.
so im asking if people can post up where to look for the boost leak perferably diagrames to help me locate items that are mentioned

Thanked 2 Times in 2 Postsoh super fun then. could you use smoke under the engine bay or leak detection fluid? or is it easier than that?
