I just put the engine back in after changing clutch, water pipes behind the block, all new pipes going into the air chamber. I used 3mm silicone for the 3piece fpr, airchamber, boost controller.
I changed the banjo pipes on the turbo to braided hoses because i dropped it on the floor crushing all the pipes
No cracks in the turbo or play in the impellar. Aldo changed gaskets on the icv and warmup regulator.
I did have a forge actuator on it but it wasn't boosting so thought mayb its the acuator so switched back to the original.
Original back on and its slightly better but still not boosting as it did prior to taking the engine out.
I changed it to 1 bar loop to see if that did anything and it made no difference what so ever. On the standard turbo gauge
It went up to previously +7 now goes to +4 or 5. I have checked all the vacuum routing and all looks right but what the hells going on lol
