PVC Loose piping
 
I have a problem with boost. Whenever the second turbo kicks in, the boost falls down to 0.5 bar and stays constant at 0.5. Yesterday i noticed that the pvc piping conacted to the bov (the one at the back) was really loose. Could this be the reason? I'm sorry, but i'm a bit new with fds so any help would be really appreciated. Thanks! (P.s my fd is stock)

That was once rubber. They harden over time because of the heat. Time for a new hose. It might be your boost problem. You know it needs to be fixed. Fix it and see what happens.

THanks for your suggestion MAX! I'll try it out and check again.

ITR, that is a pre-formed hose for the CRV (the BOV looking thing on the rear section of the y-pipe).

If you have a problem with it where you need to replace it; you can usually go to a local auto store and rumage through their pre-formed heater hoses (for other cars) to something with about the right diameter and a 90 degree bend. Then just cut it to size.
