200 won't start (part 2)

[Peter Berrevoets]

In a stock 200 you should not run into overboost cut-off with-out there
being a problem.

Check the large hose coming from the rear of the intake manifold to the
lower wastegate connection. This might be weak or broken - replace as
necessary, cuz this kind of overboost can trash your motor.
