Could be a faulty solenoid then or even just a pipe/hose leak. Either way I'd arrange to get it looked at and if you can get over to Darlington (saw you're in Redcar so not too far) then get Darren at DLM to have a look for you (01325 480678).

It controls the boost levels so if yours is overboosting it could be that. Just a guess though definately worth getting it checked out.

Check all your vac lines for any splits, the solenoid should be in the drivers side bay
