If you have confirmed it's not the intercooler and pipes, then i would suggest the DV. Remove the DV if not attached to your intercooler and block of the pipe, then take the car for a drive.

Ok I will try that when I finish work, my dv is not on my intercooler as its a v2 sti, I will remove and block the hole! What do I do with the pipe that comes of the top of dv and goes into manifold? Block as well?
