Yes the banjo fitting is clean. The gauge is teed in to the line and will be replaced by a proper gauge soon. If you are talking about the overboost protection valve (you may have to forgive me for my use of terms), I removed it because it was blocking the boost signal to the aneroid. Yes, the tubo is spinning and the car is not without power so I figure that the lack of boost is not because of an engine problem but a wastegate problem. The issue here is that the boost is not increased when the line from the tubo to the wastegate is completely block.
