Glen, leak/pressure loss or pressure not being created?? It has to be something simple. Found my pump with pressure gauge so will give it a shot on the weekend. Will test actuator opening pressure and rig up a pressure test for the system to see if it will hold pressure.
Not sure of the method your describing but I will look into it.
Any idea what would the nominal pressure on average. I'm guessing approx 1 bar or around 14psi?

Seems pretty simple to assess but be aware at idle there is no significsnt boost pressure, in fact it is normal to see a slight vacuum on a intake body mounted boost gauge. If you have a scanner with an instrument function you can do a drive test and watch the boost figure. Write them down for various gears and rpm settings. It is hard to debug individual components on the intake during driving because you can't disconnect stuff. That is why a static intake pressure test is needed as well, and a radiatir/intercooler shop can probably assess the intercooler. If that is ok your looking at turbo output, and as long as the waste gate is not stuck open - regardless of whether the accuator arm moves, you should have some pressure. Where are you located?
