no the boost is down on the boost gauge and the boost controller .once it reaches 8.2psi the car still pulls on engine power and you can feel that it wont to keep going but just wont boost over that it used to go up to 14psi no problems then one day just stoped

I've been told its the boost solenoid u will only get around 0.8 bar maybe worth cleaning it if that doesn't work try a friend who has one.Or your actuator could need winding up some more or possible that knacked have to give it a pull and see how weak the spring is.
