i dont think so, its hard to tell with such low boost as standard? possibly not. i'm goin to have a good look over it in the morning... could a dodgy vacume prevent the turbo from working?

the tansparant hose is my vacume, is this to the correct place?

yeah thats fine. Unplug it and just check its sucking at idle. there could be a block

i've just had all of the boost pipes off & found that the hose on the actuator was split, i've replaced it & reinstalled all the boost pipes but the boost gauge & dump valve are still not working???

does any1 know if the problem is because this dump valve is off an s14, is the spring too hard for 7psi to move?
