Hi guys, Driving along motorway today and all is well until I came off the slip road and stopped. Pulled away from a junction and had no boost at all. The guage is not moving in to the white section at all, I checked to see if any pipes had come off but all looked ok. MBC still seems ok there is no smoke or misfiring just no boost... Anyone got any ideas or had same problem??

Was going to say hose come off but you had a look,could still be somthing off or with a hole in it.

Thanks for all the replies, found out what the problem was. The actuator rod had come off the turbo so it was doing nothing!! Two hours, lots of swearing and one broken bolt it's all sorted.
