no boost - rattling sound

Hi all

Today i put the efini y pipe in because the original plastic tube had a crack.

Then i took my FD out for a testdrive, bad part is i have no boost.
Lets get more into the detail.
When i only push the gas pedal about 1/3, the car accelerates, if i push the pedal down, i hear a rattling sound, like metal is pushing on metal and i dont have boost.

Before i changed all vacuum hoses and valvles and solenoids, the car accelerated fine ( had minor problems too but there was power ).

My boost gauge is on the way, so does anyone have some hint about my problem?

There are a lot of "no boost" threads, but they are different...

regards
Andreas

I find the link the FAQ more helpful than searching old threads fwiw.
