Lacking Boost (2B5C-DME)

R56 N14 JCW
Currently fighting 2B5C-DME and losing...
I've looked through a lot of the threads on here but coming up short on a lot of the fixes people had
As of this moment I am pushing about 2-2.5 psi max, read via ultragauge, when attempted to push the car harder it will throw a CEL.

For diagnostics, I have done a smoke test and pressure test and unable to find anything concrete.
Replacements include:
MAF sensor replaced
Throttle body cleaning and replaced
Boost solenoid replaced
Cut off/diverter valve spring replacement to whole sensor replaced
Walnut blasted ~10k ago, just put a can of CRC turbo/intake cleaner through
Catch can installed, valve cover to manifold

Nothing above has worked and seeking wisdom

Hi, did you ever determine what was causing you the issue?

Thanks.

Even with smoke testing, it didn't show up initially?
