0.5 Bar is wastegate so if you're getting less than that I'd suspect a leak that is preventing the pressure from building or an issue with the turbo/wastegate. If you are getting 0.5 bar or above look at the boost solenoid. My best shots

Cheers budgie and JonMc found the problem my brother had left a old rag in the headers where we had ported them and got sucked into the turbo

Bloody hell never heard of that happening before. Fingers crossed there is no lasting damage.
