- Try cleaning out the boost control solenoid by squirting brake/clutch cleaner fluid through it (crud may have built up in it).

- Check the connections of the turbo-to-IC feed pipe to the flanges on the underside of the IC's end tank (need to remove the IC to do this obviously).

- Check the rubber/plastic MAF-to-turbo air intake pipe for splits/tears, etc.

- Try substituting your DV for a known good replacement and see if you get the correct boost level back (your DV could be on its way out).

- Check the wastegate actuator connecting rod's tension, etc...

done all the above but still no difference, going to take the ic off again and see if i can see any cracks or may be fill with water and hope i get no leaks
