Default still not boosting

hi guys
i posted this problem about a month ago but im really desperate now.
right my rs turbo runs with the oil cap off/i know this is not right it should stall.also wen i boost some times it will boost to 15psi which is what im running the car rockets and other times mainly in 2nd and 3rd it boosts up but the car goes absolutly no where my boost guage goes to 5 sits there then if i absolutely rag the shit out of it feels like it clears and shoots upto 15 psi now its not chipped it has the standard ecu the car was doing this before however i turned the boost down to 5 and took the actuator of and refitted it it was fine for a few weeks but then came back i have checked all the pispes for splits and there arent any but my worry is the car running with the cap of.
any obne got any ideas im at the end of my patience with this car now

sounds like the breather are blocked and the car needs a set up

good luck
