Please help,

it started on a track day when the hose came off between the turbo and boost control valve, boost hit 1.5 bar and Knock hit 65, light flashed and fuel cut. so i limped to pits,after re-conecting the hose car was fine till it felt like it happened again but the hose was fine, boost was normal '1.2 bar' and knock was normal '16 max', but light flashed and felt like a fuel cut.
Since last post car is not boosting to what it should, 'only making 1 bar if that' even thow on 1.3 setting but no light flashing.
Car was running fine till that hose can off??? confused.com.

Yeah cheers, sounds similar. ive tryed changing the boost control solanoid, checked the turbo+acuator, checked cam+crank sensor, all hoses to and from the turbo for blocks or splits, starting to run out of ideas. got the map sensor and dump valve to check next.
Any other ideas would be very welcome.
Thanks everyone.
