Default Jumping out of gear and holding back on boost? any ideas

Hi Guys, I have finally sorted out my rst and got it running fine. I have got 2 issues, one is it seems to jump out of gear when i let off the throttle. Other one in that when i stick my foot down, on the build up to boost it seems to be holding back. Any ideas guys.. loosing interest in it now!

For the boost problem check all of your hoses for air leaks. Mainly turbo and intercooler ones.

Boost prob - i would get a setup.
Check selector as mine was slightly off and it would jump out of 3rd, now ive adjusted it its all fine. If not like ppl have sed it could be the 'box!

if its not the above,then could well be the gearbox mounts.The ford items will snap in half with a good bhp/torque rst.

Thanks for the help. I think its going to be the selector not setup right. Should of marked it when i took it off. I have put new gearbox mounts on so they should be ok. I have noticed the hose coming off bottom of the turbo might be on to far and sitting on a lug on the turbo, So might be leaking boost through there! need to check tomoz! Now have another problem with it though, whenever i hit a bump in the road it fires off to the left. Cant find anything loose or movement anywhere but keeps doing it!!
