I wanted to know if it was producing any boost pressure at all. If they go into safe mode they produce low boost. Is the check engine light on? There's also a boost solenoid mounted on the offside inner wing/suspension turret.

try cleaning the boost solenoid its up onthe suspension turret, take the pipes of and spray brake cleaning fluid through the soleniod and in to the pipes maybe 2 OR 3 depending which type you have

reconnect all pipes and that might just do it,just make sure all the pipes are free of cleaning fluid before re-attaching.
