Id started having some boost cuts driving lately, and because I haven’t had the time to deal with it yet, id been running it on standard boost with the boost controller switched off [standard is 8-9] and it has been running fine.. 
Finally this weekend myself and @mfxae86  were doing some work on the cars at our house, and he spotted it somehow randomly [magic bird eyes?] which was great, I thought id be hose chasing for days!

I lopped the split off but the hose was a bit too small for the fitting, confirmed from the direction of the split, we went to heat it to put it back on decided against it, and instead just went with another bit of hosing we had at home that was a bit bigger.

Once the new hose was in I took it for a bit of a test drive, MAN does the stagea run better when its running 12psi, and this morning was so cold at 0 degrees C, fantastic turbo weather, the stagea LOVED it this morning 😊 I forgot how great it drove with a bit more boost, it has so much more go behind it. 

I prefer it on low boost [standard plus 25%] at 12psi, high boost runs 15-16psi but 12 just feels good, strong and responsive. 

Cant wait till the next big drive and to stretch her legs out.. natio run anyone?? 

So glad its fixed!! 😊
