ah so you just operating on wastegate spring pressure, yep sort the solenoids first then check the vacuum hosing in the rats nest. Fitting a boost controller is not the answer fix,the underlying problem

if you do a search someone had posted a good thread with diagrams on the the "rats nest simplification" will make it a lot easier to sort out

if you really want to simplify the rats nest you can get a set of aftermarket solenoids, i fitted mine a few months ago and it simplifys it by a factor of 10!
