If you can't hear the turbo or the squeal from the leak I'd be looking for a vacume leak on your actuator system..

When you start the car the turbo arm should lift straight up to the adjuster screw..
You wont always hear a boost leak, its only 16 or so psi, plus with the engine noise going on it would be hard to hear.
To the op, test the intercooler first, then start from scratch with the dawes and needle valve setup. Otherwise you will just get yourself confused.
