Now in first gear it only goes to about 1.5 bar at best, 2nd about 1.75 bar, and the rest almost 2 bar.
What would cause this change? Temp? Leak somewhere?
The car feels quite a bit slower in first gear now that it pushes only 7.5lbs in first gear!! Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

I don't own a turbo so forgive me if I am wrong. Don't the 951's run about .7-.8 bar of boost stock? I remember hearing that 1.0bar is hardcore and 1.3 bar is near the limit. How could you be running 2.0 bar on boost pressure? Isn't that almost 28psi? WOW! Maybe your gauge is not working correctly.
