Default Strange turbo not working sometimes.

Hi there, i am getting something strange.

When driving normally, and then give it a boot, the turbo doesn't work. Then lift off and then back on, it would spool.

Its a VF35 on a UK turbo classic. Any ideas?

id say, if the turbo isn't spooling proper. your turbo is about dead.
the vf range once gone

to the grave yard with it.

This is good to know, as mapper did say actuator when mapping it. Well this now proves its a goner.
