Besides the explanation I gave you about the boost line being unplugged there are a couple of things that also could happen:

1) your actuator rod is very dry and rusted
2) your actuator rod got slighty bent during the collision repair

Search again for cut/broken boost/vacuum lines, you might not see the leak or the boost line unplug.

Also your solenoid could be bad/faulty as well. You could t-shoot your system with a boost controller, that is assuming you don't have a bad actuator.

By the way, I suggest you consider doing the diagnosis ASAP. I have melted the pistons on my Eclipses twice, put a hole in a piston once and again destroyed the stock turbo on a Eclipse by oveerboosting for having an unplug line.

I was lucky my turbo breakdown happened on the exhaust side, the turbine simply desintegrated in the exhaust breaking the shaft.

On my 91 Dodge stealth I completly destroyed both turbos once by overboosting them as well.

Be very very carefull, you have potential for breaking turbo and engine.

thanks for all the tips... I did also find that the actuator removed was a lil rusty, but nothing bad at all... but now with the new actuator... the car is fine...
