Ummm feels a bit laggy low revs then picks up.
What's best process to try narrow down a boot leak?

Mine is the same although not particularly smoggy and i know for a fact the poxy bayonet connections on the boost pipes are loose and worn out hence I'm about to replace it all with proper silicone fittings and hard pipes.

Probably a boost leak. Specially if it's laggy down the bottom end.

No, the f**king alloy bayonet ended hoses that have a large C-clip around them that flap around like a floppy dogs cock.
