I would have to say that low secondary boost is one of the most common problem on the stock twins. Troubl;eshooting can be lengthly. You should go to:

Definitely a vacuum or solenoid problem. I've been suffering from the same, if not similar. Couldn't be any problems after the turbos since you mentioned you make 12psi before transition. Try taking off the intake manifold and performing a visual inspection of the vacuum lines. If that doesn't help, then perhaps a pressure test on various vacuum lines. Best of luck to you.

Thank for all your help guy's
The problem was a Blocked high flow cat! Think he had to smash that cat to unblock it! So theres no cat now! Maybe a few more ponies?
