Cheers mate . Hmm mine only seems to reach 0.6 bar .
I changed all the vac lines on the boost solenoid for new ones. All 4mm I.D as the old ones were all split . It seems to hold boost fine . It has a bailey dump valve , wonder if this could be the problem .

have you put the restrictor pill back in ? if not that would explain your lack of boost

2 things left then
actuator arm needs shortening (spring getting weak)
clean out the boost solonoid using clutch carb cleaner whilst ecu reset wires are connected, to make it click

As above, solenoid could be blocked up! The car is running on stock actuator pressure at the moment.
