Hey guys,
 
My car went in for a RWC check on Friday. Picked it up today and now its not boosting at all.
 
The guy who worked on it is off sick today so they are now are telling me to wait.
 
So, thought I'd ask here if anyone knows why it would be not boosting?
 
I have an APEX-R boost controller installed but its just reading it doesnt actually control the boost.
 
Thanks in advance

Boost leak (air leak).

If a service is done (air pipes taken off and re-installed) boost may not occur like normal / first time of starting and driving. Turn car off and start again (vac and boost comes back). If still occurs you most probably have a boost leak (air leak).

Yeah that's what I thought, they reckon they didn't touch anything so guess I'm going over it

Will confirm today but looks like the turbo has finally kicked the bucket after 26 years
