Sudden loss of boost pressure

[joe smith]

My 91 20v TQ (96K) was only putting out 1.3-1.4 bars I
changed the TBV and the hose connecting it to the
manifold - no change. I pulled the codes - nothing. I
then did the self diagnostic function after pulling
the codes - when the ECU tried to cycle the WGFV
nothing happened, I then checked the resistance per
the Bently manual, not even close. Finally I changed
the WGFV ($57 from Blau) and wammo, 1.8 bars.
