Car runs amazing with stable boost development up to around 10 psi. But maybe once every five minutes or so I get a subtle miss, or hesitation. I'm essentially at stage zero now with vacuum lines, ignition, oxygen sensors, with good compression values, so it's been hard to diagnose.
Sorry to drudge up this thread but can you remember when you replaced the elbow, if you replaced it with regular silicone hose or an actual elbow? I replaced mine with regular silicone and the bend is sharp and looks a bit kinked. I also had a stumble every 5 mins or so. I have a new TPS, clean IAC and a clean MAF. No codes either.

Will be ordering the part from Volvo to replace. Elbow = 3531116 "coupling piece" and clamps are 1389647.
