R60/R61 Stock Problems/IssuesDiscussions related to warranty related issues and repairs, or other problems with the OEM parts and software for R60 AND R61 MINI Cooper and Cooper S MINIs.
2C57 is 'low boost pressure' likely due to a leak somewhere (valve cover / diverter valve diaphragm / failed wastegate etc)
2C91 is likely due to the blow off valve sticking open.
Is the blow off valve on the turbo? Is that particular part replaceable or do I need to replace the whole turbo unit? Do you have pictures so I know where it is and what it looks like?

Many thanks
If you take the intake tube off of turbo you will see the Diverter valve. It takes a 5mm hex or t27 to take the three bolts off. This is what mine looked like, but I didn’t see any codes. Old style on left, new style on right. ECS has the pierburg’s for under 40. That is what is on the right.
I had the same problem......and was starting to suspect the wastegate.......because that is the error in the OBD......but I found out that my indy mechanic (after doing a bunch of repairs) had left a hose disconnected. The moment I re-connected this hose.......the wastegate related went away. See photo below for the hose and the barb connector I am talking about:
