It's hidden under a long plastic shield

Problem with boost control

Hi guys I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this issue for me, my X5 (3.0d manual) has an issue whereby if the vacuum to the boost control solenoid is disconnected the car will drive fine just laggy until you hit around 2.5k and then the turbo kicks in and it's off like a rocket, if you ...
