Tried as much of this as i could

Have you checked the throttle eblow o ring?

Only got a chance to look at this now, took off the elbow & the o ring is streched so it wont fit in the groove all the way around, some of the stud threads were damaged also so i took out the studs & replaced them with bolts & cut a bit off the o-ring so it fits in the groove & i ran a bead of silicone sealent around it & bolted it back on, the boost is now going up to .7 bar so looks like ive found the issue.

I am going to get a new o-ring to seal it properly & hopefully this will make up the small bit of missing boost. Any one know what size o-ring i need?

Thanks for your help :-)

I was speaking from experience same thing happened to me. i silconed it also then replaced with new seal only a couple of quid

where did you get the seal from? I can only find them in the us, seems to be some 20B ones online but im assuming there a different size

im looking at getting these http://www.wannaspeed.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=83_96&products_id=182

its round like the 20B ones guess it dosent matter as long as its the correct length?
