Yet another BOOST PROBLEM POST
Ok
This is my situation
1st can only get boost up to 5-6psi
2nd can only get boost up to 5-6psi
3rd can get full 10-12psi
4th can get full 10-12psi
5th can get full 10-12psi
Now with that problem listed above, can this be narrowed down to something specific?

The components are on the bottom of that picture labeled "Turbo Control". The solenoids are located under the UIM, one bolted to the ACV and the other on the solenoid rack. You can see there locations using the vacuum diagram:

You don't need to remove the turbos for these checks. Start with the KOKO test described here:
http://www.fd3s.net/boost_test.html
That will at least let you know if the mechanism is working properly. If its not, then you need to test each component individually to see which one may be faulty.
