Hi guys,
I wrote recently saying that I had lost boost, strangely it came back, today, its gone away on holiday.

I checked the actuators and they seem to push back OK with some amount of pressure and still no boost. they are definitely still connected and the little cir clip has not rotted away.

All the pipes seem OK and I'm guessing that would not be the problem anyway as the boost went and came back. I'm a little at a loss.

Any ideas gratefully received

Andy

No dump valve
the boost needle does move from less than zero up to zero when you put your foot down

Well down on power
I've checked all pipes, pulled the pipe off the boost controller but don't really know what to expect pumping it with a bike pump, nothing happens
