down im poole fella :)

erm yeah with abit of asking im sure i could find someone, is there a way to test it then?

I think there is an output test of some kind for the N75 valve which opens and closes the vanes on the turbo.  You can hear the engine pitch change when it does this  :smiley:

You can log requested vs actual boost so that will give an indication of if you have either a boost leak or a fooked turbo

Does your turbo make any noise at all when you rev the engine? Can you hear it at all?
