So maybe it is boosting within normal tolerances, just the built in boast gauge is showing low (I t-ed into the same line). All I need to do now is work out where I am going to permanentley mount the gauge pod. ATM, I have it on sticky pads, with the hose pushed up through the dash vent, but it leaves a clear trailing hose which I don't like. So i may have to drill the dash. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
