Default please help!

this is my first post so hi to every1 in the rs world!
i have a s2 rs and i have a few problems.
1. my boost dosent kick in till high in rev range, bout 4500 rpm if it kicks in at all????
2. wen i connected my dump valve it was opening a closin but no noise. (i took off now, but want it back on!)
3. i cant here any whistle from turbo
4. it misses slightly wen started but fine after. ive just taken car up the road and it just dont feel rite!
its been chipped by turbosystems by previous ower along with filter and stainless exhaust, i woz told its runnig at 200ish bhp but im yet to see. its been sat around for a good few month as ive been reshelling due to rot (mot faliure) could it be a case of just needing a good tune? plz help as im desperate to get car on road. will post pics asap.
thanks!

1. Either a knackered Actuator or more likely badly adjusted.
2. Forget the dump valve. Leave it off!
3. Whistle? It's a Turbo, not Louis Armstrong. Anyway, if the Actuator is badly adjusted as per number 1 in this list, then you probably won't be making any boost.
4. Everyone will tell you that their RST is 200+bhp, but in truth very few are. Get it looked at by a proper tuner.
