How do I test the piston mate?
And it's not just 7psi it's ~21psi down to 10 then drops to 3 and sometimes 0

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
I see what your saying mate but if the R owners are using these coolers with 2.25 for 270bhp then I don't think thats Dan's problem.
How do you now your boosting 10psi Dan? is it boosting 18-20 then dropping to 10 on the gauge or is it only boosting 10 full stop?
Edit.....you just answered the question lol

push pen under the dv, finger over the top nipple see if the piston drops, it shouldnt drop much at all, if it does then its goosed
2.5 into cooler of 2.25
They found the 2.25 cooler fitted behind the crash bar without much cutting.
Some have been using the 2.5 to from what I've seen.

Thats a monster boost leak mate? can you not hear air escaping?
If not could it be a boost valve [n75?] fault?
Well off boost it's smooth as normal, on boost it starts to pull but as soon as it peaks at 10 psi it drops off quickly, sometimes it doesn't drop as fast though.
Here's a good point I forgot to mention and may well point to the DV, even before I fitted the new intercooler I was getting boost leak problems although not as bad as this, before I was peaking 21 then it would drop to about 13psi.
test the dv dan, only takes 2 mins....
you checked the vac pipes under the inlet manny?
so peak boost is 10psi??
really need to see vagcom log to see whats being requested
if peaking at 10 psi only, maybe n75 fault... you looked at the pipes from n75 to charge pipe?

Trying to think what to use to bung the holes with lol?
The pipe from the FPR to the inlet manny I changed for new silicon hose, are there others?
There was also two runs of vac pipe alongside the manny that I disconnected but reconnected as I didn't have enough silicon pipe to replace.
Wheel bolts mate but make sure the one in the TIP is done up tight......dont want that going through the turbo.
There are 3 more under the many, another small one nad 2 bigger ones.

Which pipe is this mate there's so many in the bay I'm lost lol Got a pic to point these vac pipes out would help alot
dont need to bung anything to test the dv... take it off, push the piston up from under the valve and hold your finger over the top nipplke to see if the piston drops when you let it go from underneath
did you reconnect the vac pipes with jubilee clamps?

N75 is the one that goes to the charge pipe.

where the n75 valve is, top right in engine bay, a pipe comes from this into the charge pipe, the connection is next to the dv connection pipe on the charge pipe, the smaller of the 2. trace this hose back to the n75 and see if theres any splits
id jubilee them dan, vac pressure may escape past the cable ties. probably not related but worth a go
