A small issue with my S14 at the moment.

Apart from a 3 inch exhaust the car is stock. I installed a boost gauge today, to find out the car is only boosting to 5 psi. It doesn't spike, it just holds at 5 psi.

Since my return pipe is blocked, i just hooked up the boost gauge vacuum to the vacuum line on the factory bov which opens/closes the spring. Could this cause a leak?

Tomorrow i am going to return the BOV back to factory and tap off the vacuum line mid way with a T piece to see if it is some how causing a leak.

What could be the possible problems? I will be getting a boost leak test done hopefully this week.

Any suggestions/help would be great!
