Could be a few things mate, are the boost hoses all on ok?!?! sometimes the jubilee clips come loose!!! Also the manifold 2 turbo elbow bolts sometimes come loose. One of a couple things to check first!!! Also another possibility is the amal valve if u have one is faulty...........

do you own a voltmeter?
if so place this across the amal valve terminals and see if there is a voltage when ignition is first turned on,,, not all chips "click" but most do
