Will do. Have cobbled together the parts to pressure test it from the turbo downstream. Just going to try that out and see what happens.

I took the bov to pieces, cleaned out up and reversed out. It all looked ok, but new o rings would be better.

A friend of mine had a boost problem on his MX5 very recently. It turned out to be a nut on the T piece take off for the boost gauge was only finger tight, was leaking about 10 psi…

Edit: noticed on you vid, the boost gets to 0.7 bar- is that what you expect?

THis is exactly the question i have been asking myself, and I'm ashamed to say i don't tknow. It felt like it should have been carrying on building boost at that point.

I have, however answered that question as I have fixed the issue... I should expect more than that!

I have basically take every single piece of the intercooler piping apart and put it back together. The bit that annoys me is that I don't know exactly which part it was...

I think it might be time to renew it all anyway - particularly the clamps which are pretty rusty.

Thank you all for your help as usual. I got to the problem in the end...
