Has anyone got any idea,s to were my boost has gone

The story is put all my turbo gubbins on my motor ,fired it up and it was boosting brill , dump valve was going mad, it even popped a i/c pipe off

Then i think somthing went and it lost some boost ,it,s still boosting but not as much

More than likely iv,e overlooked something stupid :o:

I seem to remember hearing something to do with brake servo pipe ,could it lose boost there

cant drive it cuz bodys not finished yet ,so i havn,t even got any boost figure,s

Sounds like a charge pipe leak, check the brake servo vacuum pipe, and all other conections on the inlet side of the engine. You said it blew off an I/C pipe could have done it again somewhere, also check the intercooler for leaks.

dont think youve broken any thing serious, engine still runs ok?
