a little more info would help, spec of car, as a lot of issues come from after market(Baileys DV) so if you have one of those we may say try a standard.

Hmmmmmm, we dont have crystal ***** on here mate, you haven't provided any information!! Why do you think it's losing boost?

robdav

Soz was driving m8 the boost used to kick in at about 2000 but now only really hight revs, runing bit lumpy now could it need plugs and would that stop boost?

When you say really high revs what do you mean, 4K, 5K?

Did it happen suddenly, any other symptoms?

Could be MAF going/gone.
Could be a boost leak.
Could be a damaged turbo blade.
Could be Throttle valve.

Did it happen suddenly and had you altered anything just before?

Have you checked any codes that are stored? If not, do a search for how to and then report back.

robdav

Happend all of a sudden m8, going to check for leaks soon, the turbo is kicking in just very low boost compared to before

Look for a split after the intercooler and before the throttle body. Or a loose, dislodged pipe somewhere.

Cant see anything ovious guy by leaks i mean

Leaks arnt always obvious to the eye.

Any warning lights on?

robdav

No lights on but i have found a kink on the pipe out of the turbo to the back of the intercooler by the look of it

That might have something to do with it, keep us posted.

robdav

Hi all checked all the pipes and now seem to have more boost but holds back sometimes at high revs, someone told me it might be air mass sensor?
