Default RSturbo running problems


My rsturbo won't rev up. This was its first start in a long time!

Boost gauge shows -16psi when its ticking over and when i put the throttle down it goes to 0psi but the car stalls.

Has an idle of 1k and goes up to 2k on it's own. I need to double check the plugs on the inlet. Would this cause it??? Any advice welcome! cheers marco

Going off the picture in this thread I have swapped the black and the blue plug because they were wrong on my car. The vacuum gauge now shows 0, good or bad?

I cant find the brown plug? The grey one is currently where the brown one should be? But no sign of the brown plug or the place where the grey connector should go.

Coolant gauge shows 0 even though the car is warm.

Just double checked the plugs on it. I dont seem to have a grey one I have a black one instead that has 3 pins into it?

The plugs are all correct though.

Would a bad earth cause this because I think there is one missing and I have a random wire and connector hanging around. I hate other people projects!

It did run a lot smoother than that after a couple of minutes but it would not rev up?
