as per title
peaking at 20psi
been on the hunt for boost leaks, can't see any, everything is tight, soapy watered ..etc
Only thing i've done is pull the turbo and remount since the hotside clamp lost a bolt and was starting to make a bid for freedom.
Also fitted egt sender
Turbo looked ok
Didn't replace the manifold gasket (steel), but had only been on the car about 200 miles - although can't see any obvious blowing and everything is nipped up tight.
MBC is wound right in.
Soooooo
I'm sure it was running over 20 before all this.
Turbo knackered / manifold gasket leaking / egt prob somehow causing a restriction
Any ideas, as I'm fed up of going under the bonnet
*edit
Its probably the gasket isn't it :/
