Boost problems

Air leak.  To ck the diaphram put vacuum on the top port of the WG and it
should hold steady.

Ck all hoses again.  Also could be a bad turbo (nicks, radial play).  If you
block off the lower WG hose, you should get overboost shutdown (and a MAF
code in the process), since you are taking the computer out of the equation.
If you aren't, either the turbo isn't building enough boost to cause the
problem, or you have an air leak.

A torn diaphram?
Would give max boost preventing opening at all
because the MF pressure don't lift the WGpiston.
