I would have thought you would have problems all together (As well as EML) if that was the case. Have you checked for boost leaks etc?

Out of interest does this have three outlets on in (Essentially a solenoid) like say an Amal valve?

You access it by taking off the drivers side front wheel, then arch liner off, and it is in behind there.
