Have you checked the charger to intercooler pipe? Mine split open and created a hole about the size of a 2p coin. Had boost but very little.

Can you hear any rushing of air when your driving as if there is a leak?

Where you live?

How far is that from derby?

It sounds to me that your butterfly valve in the outlet of the t-piece is not closing properly.

Again i had a problem with boost when it just suddenly went from 12psi to 2 psi. Now on the throttle cable, where it sits in the bracket from the inlet manifold, there is a rubber bung around it and a little clip. Is your clip there? Mine snapped off causing the cable to become loose and it wouldn't shut the valve, not even 1/4 closed.

Check that. If that fails get someone to put their foot down on the accel and check to see how it operates and closes.
