Default not boosting.

hi all finally got my car going again but i have another problem its only giving .5 bar of boost however the turbo seems louder than usual.i am thinking maybe a pipe is split somewhere letting out the boost.so whats the best way to find a leaking pipe as a visual check showed nothing obvious.
thanks

You got a Leggy mate?

Do a cel light check, mine was doing it for a while because the ecu had issues with one thing or another.

Might have a pipe split, but more likely to be electronic.

Let us know more symptoms if u can.

well before i was getting fuel cut but the car was running a saab hybrid turbo which i have now got rid of and put a standard turbo on.the standard boost control solenoid was also previously bypassed so i have reconnected it.i don't get fuel cut anymore but like i say boost is limited to half a bar and doesn't really do much,it sounds loud tho you can hear a lot of air but like i say nothing happens.

well just found the turbo is only just down on boost however the turbo doesn't seem to have much effect on performance.i noticed while driving yesterday it sounds like there is air leaking from the boost gauge piping inside the car.would this cause these problems.
thanks
