Hi,

How far up is the boost gauge getting? it is very very common for the boost solenoid to fail on these.

If the car is standard it should boost to just over half way. when my solenoid failed i was getting 1/4 right up to redline

cheers

2nd the above, boost solenoid very common, about Ł50 from ford although lots of the tuning company's sell them for about the same price.

Actuator could have gone weak too, pushing open the wastegate at higher revs?
