Is anyone out there? I\'m having problems with lack of boost on twin turbo set up and thought someone other than Clive might like to suggest summat!(If you are reading this Clive no offence old chum, but I\'m sure you must be fed up of this thick northern monkey phoning every two minutes)!! The car has got an apexi ecu and commander and also fitted with exhaust and induction kit,we\'ve also got a good boost meter on it that reads the same level of boost as the commander, ie 3-4psi, even whacking commander up to 1.2bar makes no difference. The car has been stood in the past(before my son bought it), for up to 18months. My thoughts are, 1:wastegate stuck open, 2:f**k knows. I have checked all vac.pipes,rats nest etc and all seems ok! If it is the wastegates do the turbos have to come off to check them,? If so is it better to go to non sequential while they are off?

Hi Clive its me again! I\'m trying to figure out how to post a photo,maybe you can help anyway. Which way are the wastegates shut, w/gate lever towards back of car or vice versa(solenoid vave pushrod fully out for shut)?
