    Made a temporary connection to a pressure gauge. When starting with cold engine pressure is going up to 0,5 bar around 1900 rpm and drops off above. After driving 5 km and engine reaching operating temps, pressure suddenly drops to zero. Looks to me like an electric fault in a component when it gets warm. The drop was instantly from pressure to zero when I was watching the guage.

    Don't have a vacuum guage near to test, but is that nessesary now?

    I been reading the service manuals, 2 heavy books. Not the easiest to follow, especially when I don't have the diagnostic tools. Any further suggestions appreciated.... I'm going for a 1 000 km trip in a few days and don't fancy limping along without turbo pressure . I have taken the MAP sensor off and measured resistance. No change when putting a bar pressure on it.
