I was driving home from work tonight car seemed to be running ok ish apart from usual spluttering when cold and I think a change of spark plugs needed. Any way stopped put some gogo juice in and when I started it back up and carried on my way noticed there is absolutly no boost??? In any gear wether steady away or foot flat to floor!?!?
Any suggestions please.
Need to add I was just pottering along before stopping for petrol as was mainly in traffic and car doest really get warm enough on way home to give some!!
I had a look under bonnet when home and there doesn't seem to be any loose Pipes ect!?

yes the boost pipes are the correct way round! Called in at finn's and he very kindly let me know him and Liam had swapped them round when the car was there! .... But it still ain't boosting properly. It now boosts but not until about 5500-6000rpm?!?

That is exactly what happens on a 20g when the pipes are around the wrong way mate, you get boost creep rather than boost control.
