It means the Turbo boost is lower than it is supposed to be.

Look for in correct order:

  • Plugged air cleaner
  • Disconnected or damaged piping between the turbo and the inter cooler and then to the engine
  • Disconnected or damaged or leaking exhaust, you should be able to hear this.
  • Leaking or damaged intercooler, this is very common on older units
  • The turbo may have failed and will need to be checked by a knowledgeable person.

A turbo is basically a fan, an air pump. Turbo boost pressure too low means that the pump isn't pumping as it should, it's not giving the pressure it should be giving. Either the turbo isn't spinning as it should, or it's not moving air as it should, or there's a leak in the system somewhere.
