Thank you JohnM 855 T5R Interesting to get some idea on boost figures there, that points to a certain boost loss as I thought. I've ordered some silicone pipework to do the vacuum hoses. How available are the turbo control values and turbo recirculating valves? Is there a way they can be checked before I purchase new / replacements?

I gave the car a detour to work this morning and it is lacking in 'go' for sure. My daily driver is an Impreza and ok its a totally different car but there is no surge or oomph at all to the point where I feel the turbo is not offering anything of value.

Disappointing because it has been a looked after car. It just needs a little something, but I need to establish what that 'something' is without just throwing money at it.

Helpful VPC link too - Thank you.
