Default 1j Swap No Boost!

Here it is...my 1j idles and runs like a champ....i've read several threads on boost leak issues for the 1jz...so far this is wat i have done and it has led me to nothing...the car still does not go in boost....

The car doesn't smoke...
I have pressure tested the system and found no leaks...
I pulled the wastegate lines and forced air into them with my compressor and the arm open and close....
I have tested the bov to see if it opens and closes as well with the air compressors...functions properly....
The twins are no where nearly as loud as when i first swapped the engine...i can't even hear them...

My conclusions...
the springs in the wastegates are shot...
Or i blew the twins...

please help me out...i'm in the orlando area
