Bit of a thread revival, but figured i might as well post in here instead of a new thread. 
Still having this problem with lousy boost, getting to the stage now where im barely managing 13-14psi at full chat. There are no boost leaks that i can find, and the smoke billowing from the car is getting a bit much now. Baring in mind the pump was tuned to produce 18-19psi at best, and its gradually dropped off since then, havent touched the pump, so its still putting 18-19psi of fuel in, but the turbo is only generating 14psi at absolute most.
Im convinced the wastegate has had it, but i am pretty much unemployed at the moment, after my last boss decided he couldnt afford to keep me on, i cant afford to replace the turbo or anything like that, so im looking for any advice on possible pikey lashups to try and alleviate the problem a bit.
Thanks in advance guys!
