Went out and checked the piping just before after putting the battery back in the car.
Looked at the T join and went hmm that's not quite right, so replaced that... still wasn't going in properly and noticed a hard piece of piping on the pipe going to the wastegates.
Thought 'great, the previous owners just put the red tipped pipe on another piece round the wrong way' so snipped the piece of pipe off where the hard bit was and joined the rest of it up.
Decided to cut the pipe open to check out the restrictor, and found this!

The previous owners had an affinity for half arsing stuff, hence why the boost solenoid and FPR solenoid were missing when I got the car, along with a few other things. Guess they didn't know how to reconnect it all after removing their EBC and just jammed a piece of metal piping in there to seal it off!!!
