need help diagnosing boost

I have a problem with my sequential system, sometimes during boosted runs through gears, say wot 3rd to 4th to 5th, it will boost fine in 3rd gear, as i shift into 4th gear, the boost rise very slowly and won't go over .4bar, the exhaust note also changes to a deep tone, then i shift into 5th gear, the boost will be fine again.

i remmeber seeing peep having similar problems before, something todo with turbo control actuators? what should i start checking?

thanks,

Randy

I am having similar problems. It seems that my primary turbo is working fine but at 4000 rpms or more the secondary turbo is not kicking in.

Anyone work through this before? I am guessing it is time to do a vacuum hose and solnoid test job!
