Default Help, no boost!!

Hard to explain this one. Whilst accelerating (nothing extreme) it felt like id hit a brick wall and now as soon as i get into positive boost the car will not accelerate at all and judders, pops and bangs, and it isnt idling right, the car is a 330bhp+ MY00 uk turbo. Can someone please advise

thanks.

also is it safe to drive to get it looked at (keeping off boost)

firstly have you got a fmic fitted?

have you checked the simple stuff like the y boost pipe for splits and that it is securely fitted

check all the pipes to and from fmic if you have one fitted and check the small pipes from boost valve to the turbo
