have you checked all hoses from air filter and checked the filter ,i known filters get sucked in to the maf
Have you tried another Actuator anyway just in case?
Yeah. It's got a k&n fitted cleaned that as well.
Not actually considered that tbh. I did wonder if it may not be adjusted correctly so wound it in a few turns. Didn't seem to make any odds. Is there any sort of boost control/shut off solenoid on these?
Seems free enough? It should move effortlessly, even without oil pressure to the bearings.
The thing is I thought I was getting pressure, I squeezed the (old) boost pipe while someone revved it up. The pipe went hard, so something was happening just not getting into the motor. Hence cleaning the cooler. But that was at very high rpm. Much higher than I would of expected to be needed.
When you put your finger in the inlet, how easy is it to turn the blades?
My replacement turbo is still sealed in it's plastic bag. Just clicked a finger nail down the threads and I got 9. Having said that, I've had a bottle of red and a couple of cans of Guinness to water it down a bit.
It's EDC I didn't think it still had a boost pin?
Oh sorry, didn't realise. Not familiar with this one, but shouldn't be tooooo different to other computer controlled engines. Do you know what pressure the Boost Pressure sensor is reading? Also, have you tried bypassing the wastegate modulator?
