if it had a boost controller then the standard boost solenoid would of been replaced, try fitting a standard one back on

Could be that the previous owner has had the turbo`s actuator rod turnrd down to 0.4bar to run low boost and then the controller will reduce airflow to the actuator rod in stages to run higher boost levels.
