Have you got a boost guage? what does it say?

Is your manifold not leaking?

The engine is in the front, you won't feel a push, you'll feel a pull...

Have a look at the actuater arm , see if it is still on and if the clip did not fall off.

i have a boost guage... it boost 1.0bar @ 3k rpm....

Mine did the same...I could see 1 bar on the guage but car did not feel like it was boosting, the exhaust mani was leaking....

Does the boost stay at 1 bar through higher revs and does the car rev?

You not maybe just getting use to the power?
If you guage is showing 1 bar as it should at 3k rpm, either you have a shite guage or you are just use to the power.

If the mani or any pipes were leaking, then the car wouldnt hit full boost at the usual rpm (3k in your case I pressume).

What guage are you using?

What is your setup?

now it hitting 1 bar @3,5k rpm
autoguage...
factory setup

If it's moved from what it was then leaking manifold and/or boost pipes is more than likely your problem.

Is the turbo sounding any different to what it did before this?

when the turbine spool up... rev is not going like it use to be

I'd bank on a leaking exhaust mani....but a boostpipe can also be the problem...
