                Hi, I checked the clamp at the condensor, nothing came loose.
        At this time the problem become worse, the boost gauge read
        0.2 bar at idle, and when I press the throttle slightly, it's still
at 0.2
        bar right to 3,000 rpm !!!??? ( yes, in " D " position of gear gate ).
                moreover at speed of around 55 mph, I  press throttle to
        3/4, the boost gauge read just 1.6 bar, and no pulling power at all.
                Is this caused by wastegauge or ECU malfunction ? 

                                                                thanks
