Do us a favour. When you have a minute, post the pressure readings, again, to see whether it has a sensor problem, too. Enjoy France. Went for a job as a human cannonball. Not the right calibre.

My bolding.
I think I may have sussed the confusion. If the 3rd image was "stationary", I presume you meant on tick-over. With the actuator stuck in the high-rev, low boost position, there would be no measureable boost until the throttle was opened. Plausible?
Edit: Whoops. Didn't mean throttle. I meant go-pedal pressed. Went for a job as a human cannonball. Not the right calibre.

It wasn't at idle, I think similar to previous i.e. 4,100 rpmMark

So it appears the boost pressure doesn't show, at least at idle!.
below are some pics showing the improvements in manifold pressure and mass airflow

You can see the manifold pressure is now 0.7 Bar (10.3 psi) above atmospheric, so it should be calculating some boost, but it ain't.

The boost pressure value on my Nanocom has always been at zero at tick over. I will take a look with high revs and when under load and report back.2005, TDV6 S, Auto, 190k miles, owned from new, V8 Brake Upgrade, Nancom Evo, RLD protector, BAS EGR blanking & Remap, separate ATF cooler, changing all the fluids ahead of time.

Just found my post on the Nanocom Forum here

But it never really got answered. I will check live values again.2005, TDV6 S, Auto, 190k miles, owned from new, V8 Brake Upgrade, Nancom Evo, RLD protector, BAS EGR blanking & Remap, separate ATF cooler, changing all the fluids ahead of time.

Actuator has always read 0% on EU3 cars. Works on EU4 though My D3 Build Thread

So that explains the 0.00% figure. It's still surprising that, at 4000 rpm, the manifold pressure was still below atmospheric, just because the actuator was stuck We live and learn, eh Went for a job as a human cannonball. Not the right calibre.
I have known the turbo vanes to break up, so their is no air compression.
This car in question would draw less than atmospheric pressure at idle, dropped when revved initially, and generated a max of 106-107kPa...
When my turbo went and looked like this, it still produced a little boost (Based only on squashing the hose though!

I suppose the pumping losses could be greater than the small amount of boost produced, still leaving a negative manifold pressure. Surprising, though. Went for a job as a human cannonball. Not the right calibre.

it was the sat for a couple of weeks bit that pointed towards the actuator.
