No boost in my FD

Hello.
Iam new here and from sweden, so iam soryy for my spelling but i hope you will understand me anyway.

I have som problems whit my boost (do you say so in english?).
Before i had a lovley turbo kick around 4800 rpm and the car was very fast.
but today i i think only the first turbo works, i have no power untill 3500 rpm and than i have a turbokick but only one (use to have two), the kick in 4800 rpm is missing.

Plz help me, i have nowbody to ask in sweden.

Best regards Viktor

If it were me, I would wait until you solve your boost problem. I wouldn't start on the PFC just yet, just to make sure you don't make things worse.

Cool

Check the vacuum hoses connected to your solenoids under your manifold. That would be the first place. I bet that's your problem. You might want to take the air chamber (right behind the alternator) out of the way and look under the plenum, see if there are any hoses that came loose. If not, then take your intake manifold off(plenum) and check it that way. I bet your anything it's a vacuum hose, if not then check your turbos, if not then check your electricals, if not... well just check your vacuum hoses first. GOOD LUCK!!!


see ya,
