faulty actuator?
faulty amal valve?
faulty chip?
ive herd of the turbo pipe between metering head and intake side of turbo can collapse and cause probs?
might be worth a rolling road session?

he has changed the actuator cause it had no boost to start off with. It was spot on for a few days and then its like it is now some times its spot on and other times its got no boost.
