Default Alhambra/Galaxy turbo problems... again!

Having just had a recon turbo fitted after killing the last one, I got the car back last Wednesday. All was fine, until last few days, seemed to come on boost later and later, but was running fine. Used the car earlier and it feels like there is no boost at all, foot flat to the floor, and nothing is happening, it just isn't picking up. Its not smoking, and seems to run fine apart from this, so any ideas what I should be looking for?

Apparently its something do with the wastegate, something sticking, took a drive over to a mechanic and it cleared on the way. He stuck it on diagnostic and it came up with a charge pressure code.

Take it back to who ever fitted the recon unit would be my first port of call. Running it with a fault might only do more damage .

Turned out it was a split pipe and sticky actuator arm.
