I recently changed both belt tensioners, just to be sure. There was no evidence of belt slip but tensioners are cheap and easy to change.
Boost line is now tapped to the plenum at the back as discussed. I do see boost peaks with my P3 of up to 9.5PSI.
Still seems to act funny though. With the engine warm but the IATs still low, I still seem to get what feels like it starts to make boost, then it hiccups, then it starts to make some boost again. Sometimes it just feels stronger - and this is usually when I roll onto the throttle gently to WOT. If I hammer on it, that seems to be when the car struggles to make boost consistently. Perhaps I am just losing my mind... But sometimes it just feels right - other times it feels slow - and this is all before any heat soak kicks in with IATs under 40C.
Anyway, now I know there is no boost leak and that there is no way the belts are slipping. BPMSport is the above indicative of a bypass valve issue? If it is, is there anything I can do (other than replace it)?
Thanks again to all that have helped me through this wee bit of an issue.
Cheers,

How are you seeing 9.5psi on a base G1 kit? Isn't standard boost on that kit like 7-8psi?
