on what car? if it was going to show up anything i would of expected to see an engine light. if not anything that can read measured values to show expected boost and actual boost should do.

do you suspect you have a boost leak then i take it?

Its a mk1 LCR 2005.Suspect i may have a small leak.Will be checking all pipes best i can over weekend and if i still suspect,appreciate garages can do pressure tests but just wondered if any fault would likely show up on a normal code reader?
