haha, we all have these moments! where abouts is that then? sorry people only had it for two weeks and trying to get to grips with the engine etc...

in a way ive learned alot all ready to be honest :) every day is a school day lol

If you open the bonnet you will see the plenum on the very top of the engine and it has the throttle body attached to it, just above the throttle body and to the right a little you will see a small black box which on it should say boost sensor it\'s pretty easy to spot luckily

That\'s what you need to look at, if I remember correctly it should have a rubber hose attached to the nipple (yeah I said it) on the base and should also have a plug attached

Hope this helps

the real podge

Yes its either the sensor(cheap fix) or a tip gone(not so cheap)

Crossing my fingers for you man, Ive had two engines with very similar symptoms, am rebuilding the most recent as we speak!!

Good Luck
