Trying to pin point a problem with the turbo dumping its pressure under hard acceleration - V70 T5 P2

Does the wastegate hold prussure under vacuum or is it automatically closed until vacuum pulls it open??

What maximum boost will a standard waste gate actuator hold - do I need to uprate this to hold 1 bar pressure?

I've also been told that a worn ETM can cause the ECU to think its at ideal during acceleration hence dump pressure - done the obvious checks for leaks and changed the ricu dump valve but not the actuator

Any thoughts gents

Well, all I can say is that I'll let you know how mine drives after I have a new ETM fitted tomorrow. I'll be seeing how it peforms as standard with the new ETM before I apply the Rica map using the PPC I now have in my grubby little hands...
