Check all your vacuum lines for the turbo.
You may also have a bad vacuum solenoid.
Or the the turbo vanes are stuck.
Or the linkage from the vacuum actuator to the turbo vanes is disconnected.

Vanes spin freely.By vac hoses for turbo you mean the mess on the wheel well all visually seem correct.I do believe the solenoid is new.The linkage I have not found as of yet.

There is a vacuum line that runs underneath the coolant tank to a vacuum actuator on the turbo. There is a linkage that connects the actuator to lever on the turbo that moves the variable vanes on the turbo's exhaust side.
With the engine idling, pull the vacuum line off the turbo. You should be able to see that linkage move. Reconnect that vacuum line and you should be able to see that linkage move back to where it was.

I can not find a vac line connected to the turbo and I have both my in take hose and my intercooler hose off.

Found the vac line I think thought it was an electrical connection.
There is a heat shield covering most of the turbo on top do I have to see the movement from underneath?

I see nothing that looks like turbo linkage of course I can't see most of the turbo!
