Default ST boost problem

Hi all, fairly new to all this with a car that has a turbo etc

I have an 06 ST-2

It will only boost (in any gear) to the first little notch on the gauge (which is 0.3 bar)

Seeing as even a standard one (I have bluefin chip too) boost to at least 1.0 bar

Is it a boost solenoid problem do you think?

Thanks

Jack it up, take off the drivers side wheel and feel up behind the arch lining / above the driveshaft clipped to the side of the turbo. You'll feel the 3 pipes and an electrical connector. 10-15 mins including a cuppa.
