Check the preload on the actuator and check for boost leaks

preload? do explain. i didnt take the turbo off the manifold, i took it off complete and didnt touch it, it did run 24 psi though

If you haven't touched the turbo you will most likely have a boost leak. Or you may have damaged the turbo when the old engine cracked a liner?
