Update: so I took line 1 off and could hear the hissing of stored vacuum so that's a plus.
I have wound in my BOV spring all the way. Taken the intercooler off again and checked all lines and pipes and everything seems normal. I adjusted the ECV loosened until I could hear it chatter and then tightened two full turns. Took for a drive and still getting p1242 when building revs in the low range (primary turbo not boosting I suspect) and the boost gauge tells me I have around 0-2 psi and when the secondary comes on late I get full boost but then experience boost cut. Any ideas? Maybe the ECV is still opened??

Also my boost gauge is T'd off from the BOV vac hose.

So I fixed my problem. This is for anyone that might experience this in the near future.
It turned out to be the ECV. I had to fully reset the adjustment by taking the adjustment nut right off and starting from scratch. I set it roughly a turn past chattering and now I have full boost back and no ECV rattle in the lower gears. no more P1241. Happy days

Luke Franky No I didn't replace the ecv with a new one didn't need too.

KOng yes I erased the cel code and hasnt come up since. Yes my boost has been restored since replacing my turbo with the leaking ecv

So the ecv is the one on the secondary turbo that's needs the attention?
Does the primary one has one as well?

No the Primary turbo has a internal wastegate.

I did the adjustments on the ecv and now I'm hearing the relief valve for the first time. However the car goes up to 4-5 psi of boost. What else can I do? Could it be the primary turbo?

Apparently I am missing that 2.0mm pill going to the Bov. Will see if I can source that. I've been trying with this car for so long now.
