Morning Steve!!

I had a similar issue at the start of the year. Go to Forums, then Electronics/ECU, then go to page 2 and halfway down you’ll see my thread “LOW BOOST ISSUE”….. Not saying yours is the same but worth a check mate!! I found some signs of water ingress in the fuse box under the bonnet next to the Battery which caused the fuse to blow for the Wastegate and Recirc Solenoid Valves. Worth a look!! 👍👍.

Cheers, Marc.

Mine has been back at Mountune for best part of 2 weeks as not producing claimed power on dyno. Fred identified faulty turbo boost solenoid. This has been replaced. I understand MT have taken it back to the dyno and now producing the figures it should.

Sorry for the late reply.
it turned out to be a snapped pushrod on the turbo wastegate causing it to remain open so not building pressure. Solution was a new turbo unit and ancillaries. ☹️

Thank god for this forum. I just had this issue last night after following a type R home.

I did redline it just before, so this explains it. Thanks for saving me a trip to the garage guys!
