[200q20v] Boost limited to 1.3 bar after 993 TBV?

[Phil Rose]

AFAIR, the valve will "install" in two non-equivalent ways. On the oem
valve the correct operation will be when the vac hose nipple points out
toward the front of the car. The valve can also be rotated 90 degrees and
connected so the vac hose points up, but that would be wrong. Not sure what
the symptom would be, but I suppose loss of boost pressure is a reasonable
possibility. I believe SJMockry  presents some TBV details  on his website.
