You might find the turbo may wakeup when you move the wires.

Pin 1 is 12.5
Pin 2 is 12.5
Both against chasis....

As been said from the beginning you need to check continuity of the wiring.

The ground is obviously missing so the actuator is not powering up thus the code 00449A no position signal back to the DDE. In the DDE/ecu box check the connector X6011 pin 7 should be zero volts
