Please help need suggestions

I blew my motor about 5 months ago after all this trouble with mitsu $8200 they charged me but i some what got around it ui get the car back drive it airconditioner doesnt work. go back, "oo we forgot to charge it" next 11 miles from dealership breaks down. 2 hours for tow truck, they said the next day loose intercooler piping. They dented my car chipped paint everywhere the brembo paint peeled off of an entire one looks horrible. The car feels really slow i knew something was wrong. Hooked up the gauge its running 10 psi till redline i checked the boost solonoid. Ofcoarse the T that runs the the turbo nipple and wastegate was hooked up wrong, changed that still doesnt work. Now what, everything is hooked up correct, could the turbo not have been installed correctly, something with the computer maybe they did that on purpose do there crappy motor install doesnt blow up? what should i do
By the way the reason is the radiator was leaking i didnt realize and i saw yesterday that guess what yep they put the same radiator in and patched it yeeeeeeep they preasure tested it found the leak. Remember this whole job wasnt warrentied 15,000 miles just bought a clutch the week before i prettymuch could have bought an m3 Mits is ridiculous. The car is amazing but isnt worth this service should have got an STI

Sounds like your boost problem could be the solenoid. I know that the wastegate will limit your boost to 10-11psi if there is no interference from the boost solenoid. It really sucks what your'e going through. Good luck.
