Default Help! No Boost!

I was drivin my 98 Turbo 2000 on the dual carrigeway then slowed down for a bus then went to put me foot down again and no boost at all. It's flat as a fart. There's no sound from the dump valve either. It has a blitz boost controller if this is of any significance. I've looked in the engine and no leaks or hoses off or anything. Anyone got any ideas.

Cheers.

if you got no boost at all most probably the waste gate is stuck open.
or not connected anymore with the actuator.

Check the wastegate and its actuator (on top off turbo)
actuator rod should be possible to push in direction of firewall using some force.
