High Boost

[Greystoke]

My boost gauge normally reads 1.2bar when No. 2 kicks in. But lately it is now reading 1.4bar.

 

The first cat is still in.

 

If anything it should be reading lower in the warm weather.

 

Any idea what could be causing this.

Have you got a restrictor ring or boost controller?

Neither.

 

It has never gone above 1.2bar in over a year.

Check your hose connections mate.

It would run at the set boost (1.1 bar) for a while then I was peaking at 1.6 bar or so then found one of the vacuum (I think) hoses had fallen off so now when it reads high, that`s the first thing I`ll look at.

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

 

I have checked the hoses and they look fine.

Any idea which hose it was.
