ok i checked my pipe i throttled it with my hand arond the pipe and i couldnt feel no pushing or pulling from around my boost hose...so im come to the conclusion that it must be sumit else.....the only thing that has been done was my emissions were turned down.......surely this cant be the reason for looseing 2lb of pressure!?

ok just spoke to a few people on here and they think it might be down to my emissions being turned down for the mot as to the reason ive lost 2lb of pressure..i felt round the hose and felt nothing wrong..no air leaks...

As for the emissions been told its a case of less xzorst gases so less feeding back through!..so full set up time again! ...damn thing is keeping me skint!
