Hi guys, not sure exactly when this happened but during the course of the past 1000 miles i seem to have lost some boost. it flys up to 1 bar on the gauge then stops dead and holds well, it used to peak at 1.3 and hold around 1.2 bar.

I'll be getting the usual smoke tests & code scan next week but any ideas for something i can look for in the mean time? I've already ordered a service kit for my 008 as it's overdue new seals, no obvious leaks, no CEL (already deleted all the usual pcv pipes)

Anyone experienced this before?
 
Check your vac/pressure lines to the N75.
 
Maybe its the hot weather? Not requesting higher boost to attempt to keep temps down?
I dont know if its a placebo at the minute but my car seems to be quicker at night with the cooler air than during the warmth of the day!
 
Standard actuator on it at the moment, Most likely find out something is getting a bit tired when i get it plugged in. but i'll check the vac lines etc when im home from work this evening just incase
