Default What happened to my boost??

Hi all,

I recently had a engine rebuild and finished my 1000 miles last week so it was time to re-connect the turbo all was going well until last night, I dirve it to the shop and it was boosting fine but when I got back in the car there was no boost - its like it was before the turbo was re-connected and I dont know why ??

I've checked for loose/split pipes but cant spot any - any ideas/sugestions would be greatly appreciated!

Just one more question....is there supposed to be a nut/clip on the end of pin keeping the arm in?? Because the arm popped out again
