What do you mean you have to put it into the gears manually? Is it a manual transmission? And if your hearing an air leak by your turbo, well then that's why your not boosting. And on a stock 850 turbo, the needle should only make it about half way in the white.

 

First, you have some kind of boost leak. I would check the vacuum lines running from the turbo and the wastegate.

Second, you should take a look at your trans fluid. From the sounds of it, it needs to be flushed ASAP.

 

ok thanks ill do get that done
