If it is leaking there would be +ve air pressure from cooler entering the vac line at very early/low boost and the VNT vanes may not stay closed enough early for the turbo to spool up fast enough.
    Could be the seat or spring lets see.

    Could remove the Dawes, connect a small length of vac hose to each end of the Dawes and apply compressed air supply with a regulator fitted to simulate it being connected to the cooler boost take off. Using the regulator on the air supply, slowly increase the pressure from zero to the pressure where you feel slight air passing through the Dawes and this will give you an indication of boost level set of the Dawes.
    Let me know result.
    U can put the outlet piece of hose near your face and feel the passing air starting to pass through.

    Your vacsol is blocked off correctly and as said: the electric connector needs to be plugged in.

    Really think u can sort this out without giving money to a tuner.


    @mudski does the Brass body Dawes have a seat insert for the ball to nest against?
    Thanks for all the help Bidja. Unfortunately I don't have any compressed air.

    The Dawes is one of @mudski
