Help, no boost?
Hi guys, I just took my car out for a spin and noticed that the boost gauge was only Reading about 7 psi? Then after stopping and pulling away the gauge is now Reading 0 psi? Can anybody help me. Thanks

Well recently the car has been running strange, one time I put my foot down and the car just lost all power, but was then ok after that. I have noticed a slight rattle from near the turbo, but just thought it was the heat sheild? I did recently try cleaning the boost solenoid but not sure if I did it correctly?

Bump, I did sort this problem by cleaning the boost solenoid out, and the car was running so nice, but now gone back to only boosting 7psi???? And on tick over the car shakes and has a bad flat spot. If anyone can give me some advice please do. Thanks
