You get boost gauge then?
I belive standard boost is between 12-14psi so i wouldnt say you have a problem maybe worth checking for leaks tho just incase?
RE: 12 psi... problem - Jimbo - 10-05-2013
I think they vary between 12 and 14 mite pay to check d seal on intercooler and tighten Jubilee on turbo pipe onto the cooler
RE: 12 psi... problem - no2lurch - 10-05-2013
Gauge arrived yeah thanks. Where and how do I check?
RE: 12 psi... problem - scottbmxer - 10-05-2013
Sounds right to me, maybe slighty under tho!! Stock is usually about 14 psi
Beat me too it

Get some wd40 spray it around the inlet and intercooler if it revs you have a leak if not then its fine........ get it turned up

For some reason I thought this only worked on petrol cars lol
RE: 12 psi... problem - no2lurch - 12-05-2013
Could leaking exhaust before the cat cause a boost leak?
RE: 12 psi... problem - no2lurch - 14-05-2013
changed the intercooler d ring today and it still boosts to 12psi!
RE: 12 psi... problem - Anton - 14-05-2013
Came with around 14.7psi (1 bar), but afaik they were set up individually so yours could have just been set lower or lost a couple of psi, hardly alot considering its age!
Just tune it
RE: 12 psi... problem - Chris_90 - 14-05-2013
Just turn it up job jobbed
RE: 12 psi... problem - no2lurch - 14-05-2013
