The piston of the forge dv can stick so checking this and relubing may help.

Apart from that you'll really need live vcds logging of at minimum, boost requested vs actual, fuel rail pressure requested vs actual, wastegate duty cycle and CF for all cylinders.

i had a similar problem and used the service kit which was great but also had to change the n75 valve as mine was the older version that comes with the forge diverter so tghe new one which is slightly uprated solved my problems :happy2:
