but this problem existed when i had manual boost controller fitted so the boost solenoid was being by passed ??????

Have you checked the hose to the boost sender for the gauge?
It's locate on the driver side strut tower. It's kinda hard to see if it has split.
easiest way is to remove the hose and check it for damage.

That wouldn't cause such a massive drop in boost... It mainly just stops the gauge reading.

You can't rebuild T28BBs, I'm afraid. The cost would be more than a replacement. If its a straight T28, you could pick one up on SXOC fairly cheap.

Thought I'd bring this thread up from the dead.. since its a very related issue

I recently installed my greddy fmic. Realise a few hoses were missing, plumbback is blocked etc. However, as the thread starter noted, I have a huge high-pitched whistle when hitting boost at around 3/4 throttle.

Funnily enough, the power feel increase is enormous when the whistle sounds and I am still hitting .71-2 bar at full boost..

Thoughts?

Check all your pipes for leaks
