Could check the VAM in case it is stuck. If you take the plastic cover off you should see the lever move. As the gate in the VAM opens and closes, it signals the ecu to go leaner or richer so anything related to that can cause problems. Plus any leaks that allow air to enter the intake without passing thru the turbo and therefore the VAM is a problem. You may have already solved this so just throwing it out there.
