Im just wondering whether my gizmo is playing up or not?

It has the 4 boost settings, right now i have it on setting one at 12.1 psi..

Now when i got it put in, you know where they put the T piece or Y shaped piece in to link with the boost lines in the engine bay..

Well they kept one of the stock boost lines on and it split at the T piece, causing it to leak...

When i fixed it all up my boost pressure on the gizmo in setting one changed to 14.2 psi..

Is it ment to do that

PLZ HELP

I hope my explanation isnt too hard to understand...

soo basically leak in boost lines causes the gizmo to increase boost pressure

I have one and what happens is that on a cold day when you really load teh car up, the boost will increase, since now the gizzmo sees high boost pressure at that same setting, it remembers that boos level. It's a pain in the ass. If you get it set up properly on a dyno, it will fix this issue, as on a dyno you can cnonstantly load the car up thesame, producing consistant boost levels.

If you are referring to the boost line that runs to the back of the gizzmo, if there were a leak it would read less boost because it would be unable to hold the pressure fully hence by fixing the leak would read higher (that line is purely for the digital boost gauge)

The gizzmo will read the highest stable boost reading at that duty cycle, so on a nice cold night you could expect that reading to increase again

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
