My td is totally standard. Plumbed a boost gauge in just now and Max boost I get it 12 psi.

Is that normal?

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?

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

Could leaking exhaust before the cat cause a boost leak?

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
