Default boost/driving problem

i have just gone halfs with my dad and bought a totally standard 2wd G plate sapph in magenta but on the drive home its got a boost problem.

when i went to open it up it was like hitting a wall you can hear the turbo starting to wind up then nothing, i thought that maybe one of the hoses maybe colapsing in on its self causing this problem as its no missfire. what do you reckon it could be????


the car is the bollocks other than this boost problem we now have 3 2wd sapph`s on the drive

sounds like it's over-boosting

check the wiring to the amal valve, the amal valve itself, and the hoses between the amal valve and actuator and turbo

Try closing the plug gaps, you will be very hard put to feel a boost misfire, but because it does not ignite the fuel no exhaust is produced and hence no turbo spin, just air going through, but nowehere near enough.
