    Boost - lack of....

    Help please - again.

    My 3B with homefries is only generating a boost pressure of 1 bar where it used to reach 1.4/1.5 on overboost - I am guessing it is a split hose somewhere?
    Has anyone got a pressure testing kit in the Derby / Midlands area that would be able to do me a favour or tell me what is required so I can make one?

    Thanks

    Nick
