Overboosting as in??? Passing the desired tearget oressure then settling after a second or so or once on full boost getting fuel/igniton cut?
If its the later are you sure its overboost,could it possible be blowing the spark out? Check the plug condition and gap accordingly.

boost guage in the red which has never done before when accelerating,not hard acceleration but gradual.when slowing down and braking revs drop to the point that it almost cuts out.

Has this just occured since fitting new hoses and dv? If so easiest option would be to switch back and retry. Sounds like you could have air leak,possibly faulty dv perhaps??

I would have thought if it was the actuator it would not boost as much........
