I went pretty hard at winton over the weekend and once I got my car home and drive it I noticed it is only hitting 15psi compared to my normal 18psi.

My first thort was turbo on the way out as there was oil all over that side of the engine bay, but turns out my catch can was full and my drain plug wasn't done up properly.

I did rip out one of my bolts from a flange on the decat pipe and the arse end of my exaust is just hanging on. Is the lack of back pressure enough to make boost drop by 3psi?

I think the spring in my actuator is 15psi, possibly stuffed boost controller?

What lines/hoses can I check that may have come loose?

I havnt had a chance to look over the car properly because of work I will get stuck into it over the weekend.

I will check cooler piping and fins/shaft play aswell just want to cover all bases.

My car is a r32 gtst

Cheers guys - Trent

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
