In the pic right, your touching the stock dumpvalve, is that hanging off.. i.e can you move it.

If so, pull it right off and block it up with a 50p as i said before, as its an air leak at the moment.

low boost is only for winter conditions really mate..icy roads e.t.c.. your boost gauge must be faulty cause it woulndt boost 2 0.60 in low boost.. try it in high and see if the problem continues.. you also have 2 block up the whole.. you have a stock filter 2.. have you checked that 2 see if its clogged up..

porting the wastegate is a big job mate and you would have 2 get a specialist 2 do it and 2 be honest it would be nearly cheaper 2 buy a good second hand turbo.. now in sayin that you should have a look at the wastegate port first 2 see is it cracked...

If it is cracked, I know someone who has a garage and will weld for me so any garage sorting problems I can arrange cheap...if it does have cracks what am i to do?
