Well I’m a dipshit. That blue stuff is painters tape. All this time I was chasing a boost leak because I was “losing” 4-5 psi between the sensors. Turbo putting out 28. PUT seeing 28. Manifold seeing 24. I remember when it happened. I was draining coolant and covered the pipe with tape so the coolant wouldnt get in the pipe. Then later my dumbass started the car with the tape still on that pipe it broke the tape and started. I thought oh fuck but I was fairly certain I had all the pieces. I just went out for some logs and I’m seeing 28psi in the manifold now. And it drives like a different car. Only makes sense that the pressure builds up in the pipe because of the tape but it’s not letting it into the manifold.
