When is it comming in. Don't forget it will kick in but you won't get full boost till the revs go up and the turbo is spooled.

Hard to tell you what's wrong over the internet, but i would pop the bonnet and check the boost pipes first, intercooler and boost solenoid ones ect.

Just for référence, how do you check for boost leaks, is it by just physically checking or is there a better way. As my scoob should be back on the road soon, and would like to give her a good check over before hand.. Sorry to slightly hijjack the thread btw!
