    Boost

    Hi all i posted last week about vac problems i think ov sorted it now its idling beter.
    My boost is still not hitting 1.2 when i floor it instead of going strate to 1.2 bar it hits 0.7 quickly then climbs to a 1.0 bar does this sound like a leak because the ecu and the 19t were ok on my other engine and always hit 1.2 quickly??
    Iv tightend allboost pipes??

    What sort of boost control are you running? Is it all done via the BCS or are you running an mbc?

    Are all the pipes connected to the right ports on the BCS, are you running with a dump valve, standard recirc valve or blanking plate?

    Perhaps your dump valve is weak/leaking. Can you remove it and blank the hole off, for testing purposes?
