Check engine code 44

Ive just finished my single turbo conversion.

When I started it up for the first time the first CEL it threw at me was 24 and 44.

I fixed 24 with the 'battery idle test'

And 44 was caused by a ecu wire popping out of its crimp, so i soldered it back up.

Started the car up and no cel greatest feeling of my life no joke :P, drove around for hours open downpipe great fun :)

I decided to go out later on started her up and cel again :( this time it was just 44.

I changed the boost control solenoid with the primary turbo guard one to see if the BBoD one was faulty. Put more solder on the joins, started her up again and 44 again.

Reset the ecu 44 again.

I'm at a loss I have no idea how to solve this, surely I'm not the only one with this issue?

Battery Idle test: http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f75/how-idle-re-learn-after-battery-disconnect-154161/

Of course double checked them, first time it threw 44 a wire had disconnected but now they are soldered in tightly.

9-10psi

I had it in test mode and the code was pulsing ( if that's what you meant)

I've left the car with the battery disconnected overnight. My only lead is that the '75' ecu I'm using want's a 3 port solenoid if that's an actual error.

The black diagnostic plugs are for reading fault codes. The green plugs are test mode. In test mode (ignition on/engine off) the radiator fans will cycle on/off and all solenoids will pulse open/closed.

Throw it into test mode and see if the boost solenoid is pulsing.
