Default Boost problem guys

well im lost.


Got a Std ERST the other day when it come on to boost only at 0.4 bar boost shuts down firstly i thought it must be fooked actuator or Ecu so changed the ECu for a chipped one and put a -31 on there also.
......still does it its not too bad when cold it boosts to about 0.5bar lol.

its really wered cos when it does come on boost then cuts off about 2-3 sec later the dump valve dumps lol its a bit delayed.
any ideas guys

Is it making a farting almost sound? If it is it may be blowing the spark out.

Have you any problems with your alternator. IE lack of charging causing poor power from the battery to the ecu?
