Heya just wondering if i can get some feedback about a turbo fault, my boost pressure has dropped would this suggest a faulty turbo ?. Its not falling off under boost (which suggests to me there is no leak) there is just less boost, i reckon the turbo has probably seen better days as on occasion when hot it smokes every now and then..... thank yous :)

Have your tried another actuator? could even be worth just doing the actuator rod up firmer

What is it that brigsy says something along the lines of no smoke no go:laugh:

I would check for a boost leak just to be sure, boost doesn't always slowly drop off when you have a leak if leak is bad enough it'll never build up enough boost.
