Need help after replaced actuator low boost!

Hi Guys,

I've recently had the dreaded seized actuator replaced on the passenger side of my car.

I literally parked it up and it was fine and the next thing I knew I had no boost whatsoever.

So the garage diagnosed the actuator, replace and programmed it. Since I've had the car back I only boost to about 0.6 bar max and the car still doesn't feel right.

Its been back to another garage and they have driven the actuators manually and checked the actuator rods and all seems ok. They have also checked for any boost leaks and haven't found any.

Has any one got any more ideas why I'm not boosting properly? The car runs fine otherwise with no smoke or anything like that.

Cheers

Mark

No codes at all, everything is clear dude.

Could it be the electronic boost valve?

I did find a thread on here where another guy had the same problem and changed the turbo boost module which I'm assuming is the actuator?

They shop is going to check the programming of the actuator on Tuesday. I've also checked for boost leaks and have found nothing and had 2 different garages check also
