Replaced downpipe now not making boost?
« on: April 29, 2015, 10:52:17 pm »
I just replaced my downpipe due to blowing on the flexi pipe, now it's not making any boost. There is a whistle but no boost? Can anyone throw some light? Thanks in advanced!

What will you do come MOT time? Put the standard downpipe back in?
