no boost (now sorted)

Okay today before i got the car on the rollers it made a poor 220, the problems were turbo bolts hanging off, hole in downpipe, broken exhaust gaskets, broken acuator.

So today all things sorted and the car ran 308bhp.
But i kept blowing off boost pipes. Anyway all put right.

Today coming back home gave 1.2 bar a try and after a blast i noticed the car is not going over 0bar? wtf, like its not boosting any ideas

blown pipes again, or faulty boost controller, or wtf

Does it drive like there's no boost? If so, then yes, probably the boost hose has come off. Normally you notice them coming off under boost when you head butt the windscreen:doh:

Can't you have a look yourself? It should be quite obvious which one has come off, if it isn't then just check each join by hand for movement.

Is that the picture of yours or a reference picture?
I lost the clip on my old car and used some locking wire from work. It lasted as long as I had the car, so it works.

Not sure if you can get to it in situ or if the turbo needs to come off. Send a small child in to fix it.:lol:

cheers guys all now sorted for the sake of a 1p (but i got for free from nissan, lol, shock) circlip (c clip),
so decided to try my luck pop into nissan as i knew a guy there from back in 1999 james kasim who used to own a 450bhp pulsar.
After 10 mins he got me in, all done for free. by nissan....

here was the missing link...end of actuator rod now in place and back to 1.2 bar boosting...
