Details? Most common failures are the BPC, pedal switches, and wastegate arm coming loose. Do you have base boost, or zero boost?
If zero boost, look for loose intake hoses on the pressure side. Either that or a seized turbo.
If base boost, there's more options. Does your cruise control work? If so, your pedal switches are ok. If cruise is also inop, check switches mounted on clutch and brake pedals. Another test is to pull the wastegate hose off of the BPC. On the road, slowly give it some gas, the boost should go crazy until it hits fuel cut. If you get no boost, your turbo has internal issues, or the wastegate arm has come loose. If you get major boost, and your pedal switches are ok, the BPC is suspect. Sometimes they can be cleaned to restore life.
