1.6td low boost?

Post by lostmypasswordagain »

Ok all
Just checked the boost pressure on the 1.6td, showing approx 5psi at 4k rpm stationary.
I believe its supposed to be nearer to 10psi, is that too low even considering it is a few years old?
What should I be checking apart from dodgy hoses? I have a manual boost controller valve I was going to fit to increase it a bit, but not sure how to plumb it in on this or weather I should now?

thanks :D
