So there is little/no boost then?

Is the actuator still firmly attached?

the turbo seems to boost ok according to gauge but it holds back??
just went outside and looked at the actuator and it is firmly attached but the vacum pipe running from it to the solinoid had a split at the solinoid end so trimmed it and put it back on , it made a little difference but not a great deal

Where to start with the questions.....
What fuel are you using?
When was the car last serviced?
Is there a check engine light up?
Was there any change of parts before this happened? (new mods etc)

Start there and see where we go
