Default boost problem

Basically had the car set up by stu a few months ago and was ok bar leaning out(fucked regulator) holding 1.5 bar and boosting nicely.

While there we found out that some of the turbo bolts had come loose and 1 cross threaded when tightened up so few weeks later took turbo off and replaced all the bolts (had 2 take housings apart 2 clean the thead in housing but aint rocket science )

Put it all back together and ever since then it hasnt felt right By rights when put back together boost setting should have been exactly the same as never touched the actuator, but it was peaking a over 2bar straight away, all pipes etc seemed ok and tight!!!
So wound actuator out a bit and got it to peak at 1.5bar again but, as soon as it hits 1.5bar its backing off to 1bar then slowly climbing again which i swear it wasnt b4 plus every so often its spiking over 1.5bar. Plus when in low boost it should hit about 1bar but its not even making that

Any ideas?! Boost hoses seem ok, actuator pipes ive replaced 2 be safe, just tonight replaced the actuator with a spare one which is supposed 2 be a -34 so will see how that works tomoz, other than leaves the amal valve which cant see it being as hi low boost works fine so deff is workin?!

Any suggestions?!

Cant complain thou least it runs
