T5-r Turbo ..

I have a re-map. RICA job.

I'm still trying to find the reason mine doesn't boost off the guage. It peaks at about 4-5mm before the end of the white. if flooring it in 5th at motorway speeds, it goes up to the end, but not over.

I have replaced all the vac lines with rubber fuel hose, and she had a full stage 0 about 5k ago.

Anyone got any ideas why I am not going off the guage as it should?

You may have a slight leak on the intercooler or pipes even.

I have just purchased a set of black Samco I/C pipes that will be going in over the weekend. Will see if this changes anything. Also going to look for a reference boost gauge so I actually have some numbers to go off while trouble shooting. Just need to put it somewhere it can't be seen when I dont want it to. I'm thinking ash tray.

Digital or analogue gauges? I like the idea of digital as one can have the sender under the bonnet and just run electrical wires into the cabin.

Apologies for appearing like I'm highjacking. Unintentional.
