The default position on these tuebos is no boost,
And by that I mean the turbo is off at idle speed and when starting
boost is only generated when the turbo solenoid is triggered on.
so get your helpful and well equipped mate to stick his vacuum gun on the disconnected small bore pipe that runs from the turbos solenoid at the turbo and start the car.
When throttled the gauge should read vacuum If not then as I'm in there with the right tool I connect to the input pipe for the solenoid and check for vac from the vacuum pump.
Good vac means the solenoid is probaly shot poor or no vac means a vac pupm or vac supply fault.
