Default Boost problem

Hi everyone
Today I had the usual oil filter housing fitted and it got rid of the horrible noise which sounds like a kettle...on the Focus ST 56 plate
Since I've had it done I've noticed the car hasn't got as much power and the gauge only goes up to a quarter on the turbo where as before it would easily read up to a 1/2 on the gauge
Has anyone got any ideas what it could be..
There seems to be a lot of posts saying it could be the the turbo solenoid
Thanks for your help.

Boost solenoid is the most common fault for boost issues so I would try this first.

depends on what you want. how you want the car to drive. and what other parts you have fitted.
