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!
