Default A new bloody problem!

Removed the dump valve and it drives soooo much better! Never thought it would but it does and im surprised how much i prefer it without the noise of the dump valve.

The next thing is the car still isnt running 17psi like it was before the dump valve fucked up, only 14psi. Any ideas? And im leaking oil from my gearbox where the speedo drive goes in. How to fix this??

(the speedo also under hard acceleration also does this loudish fast clicking noise, but if you back off, it stops and returns to normal. the speedo under normal driving is perfect, the needle doesnt shake or anythin).

cpngrats on taking the dump valve off! got a feeling you have an air leak from split hose or sumit plz dont juist turn boost up as this will over speed the turbo and it will shit itself like mine did!

take it to a tuner and get ya all ya hoses checked over!

as for the gear box. havent a clue, sorry
