Wire the end of the EBPV arm (pin) so that it pulls toward the turbo pedestal. There is stop on the shaft that will bottom against the EBPV housing. when fully open. Does the actuator rod feel loose/ works up and down?

I was just trying to verify that spring on the actuator piston was OK. They sometimes break and cause EBPV operation problems. Can you get rod back over the pin? You could put an E-clip back on the pin. Just a little harder to do than the OEM one. Or, tie some wire to hold the rod on and just leave the EPR solenoid unplugged for now.

I can't get my hands in there to put the rod back over tab. The clip is down in the valley. I tried wiring the tab wide open where it doesn't move at all and it is still doing the same thing. Any suggestions now.

Thanks for all the help everybody. I got it fixed (for now) I sacrificed my right hand to put that rod back on but its not clipped right now. I also disconnected the sensor so it won't actuate hopefully that will keep it from falling off again. For future info it sucks hooking that up with the downpipe still on. Thanks again guys.

I just installed a switch to be able to turn my EBPV off. I let it operate like normal when idling, but when I start to drive I don't want it on just to avoid the same problem you were having (i.e. high egt's, low boost, low power). I gotta say, it was definitely a pita to get to that plug on the pedestal. Had to take the I/C cold pipe off to get back to it. Love having the switch though. Might help solve your problem permanently. Just a thought.
