Default Won’t boost past 0.6 bar, was 1.2 bar before..?

Hi

All of a sudden my forester 2001 won’t boost past 0.6 bar and usually it boosts 1.2 bar on the tdo4 it’s been mapped months ago with the supporting mods.

Checked the engine bay for any pipes or vacuum have split but no sign of any of that. All seems fine

Car doesn’t smoke,knock or no engine light on the dash

Hmmm, any ideas???

I’ve read it could be in limp mode? Or the boost solenoid ?

Cheers lads

As you probably know its currently running actuator pressure only.
check the actuator arm is still connected to the W/G penny valve arm.

Strange thing is driving home and was boosting how it should be at 1.2 bar. Hmmm
