i have check the pipes on the turbo and the are as follows



are the pipes the right way round?


there is a loud ssswwoooosshhh sound when i accelerate hard, possible air leek in front of the turbo? inlet??

could thid be why i am getting a reading of 1.5 BAR (this morning on the way to work) on the boost gauge just before the engine cuts the power?

heres a vid of the guage working, the second/third time i accelerate u can just make out the bang when the power is cut!

im going from 2nd - 3rd - 4th.





anyway heres a pic of the guage and the t piece connection!








the gauge does light up u just cant see it in this pic.

as im a reterning user to ph(use to be davocup/davom3) heres a pic of the car.
