I have had the car for probably 9 months and it has been like that ever since I got it. I only put a boost gauge in the car because my mate had been saying that he thought the primary turbo wasn't working at all like it should, turns out he was right, lol.
I have just replaced lines 1-2 and line 21 from under the intercooler, and non of them had a restrictor pill in them. Is that normal? So far I have found two restrictor pills on pipes coming off the manifold, and another on a pipe between the T piece on the primary turbo. I have put them all back in the same place when changing over to new pipes.
It could well be the turbo, but it doesn't blow smoke or make any concerning sounds while driving. The weird thing about all this is that if I'm in 5th gear doing around 60 KM/H and I put my foot down, without changing gear, the primary turbos boost will climb all the way up to 10-12psi until the car hits around 85 KM/H, then will drop back down to 3-4psi again It only does this in 5th gear and won't go above 4psi in any other gear.
