3 " down pipe back on but!!!!
« on: 21 May 2011, 11:41 »
Guys i just put my 3"down pipe back on today and the boost has dropped just below 15psi, it was hitting 15psi and holding for a while with original cat on there, why is this?

Kindest regards

I would say less pressure build up in the system due to bigger bore pipework. Does it feel just as good?
