Done. Drove it after, no difference.

Will clean the BOV tomorrow morning, and check all connections between turbo and throttle body.

As I mentioned earlier, it now only holds 15/16 psi in 1/3/4 but towards the top of 2nd only, finds 16 then drops to 10psi.... .

Might hit you up for some logging if none of the above works Dave, cheers for that.

Check the olive/pill in the boost line off the turbo hasn't become dislodged.. long shot but worth a check!

Reporting back:
Re-Checked every boost/vacuum line with soapy water - No leaks.
Removed intercooler, undid, redid and tightened each connection between turbo and throttle body (turbo connection, y-piece connection, intercooler connection, BOV connection, throttle body connection etc...) - No leaks.
Checked BOV with throttle-body cleaner - No leaks.

Removed boost solenoid from car, re-cleaned it, checked air flow (no air flow possible unless current is applied, and solenoid opens).

Checked that the boost line olive/pill is there, waiting for car to cool down to test air flow through it.

If the olive/pill checks out, can I rightly assume that my next option should be to replace my actuator? Can I also assume that one of the ones bought in last month's group buys would be the leading contender (obviously the one for the VF35).

It's not bad fuel or anything is it?

If your fuel is really bad, your IAM(Rough ignition timing correction) will drop, which pulls timing. If it gets low enough the ECU disables boost control and runs wastegate pressure.

ummm using soapy water to look for leaks on vacuum lines won't work, any leaks will be sucking air in..............not blowing it out.
