Default APS TT car just stopped making ANY boost?

Guys I've just taken my car out for a last drive before its stored over winter and I've driven 8 miles.

Car was warmed up and then driven a little hard but nothing major and all of a sudden it just stopped making ANY boost?

I normally get 0.8 - 0.9 bar but I'm getting 0.04 bar in 4 th gear?

I've checked for big boost leaks on the road side and the car drives fine but just slow as fawk? Air fuel ratios are fine but you can normally hear the car spool up and it's not doing that now? I've tried turning my boost controller off and going spring pressure but it's the same.

Only thing I can think it's 1 or both waste gates are stuck open?

Any ideas guys? Gutted as I just wanted a last spin before winter and now I've got problems

Thanks.

I would check the vacuum lines feeding the wastegate actuators. Make sure you don't have a leak

Got the car home and checked the intake and all the silicone connectors I could see and all ok Took the car to a local garage to use their pit and checked both internal gates, they were closed

Pulling about on the IC piping I found the pax side IC had blown completely off! Fixed this and back to 0.8 bar I was made up! Thanks for the tips though!
