good call, sometimes the most simple methods are overlooked, I guess I'm guilty of analysis paralysis. The joint between the turbo exhaust output and the down pipe was loose, the bottom stud & nut fell out into my hand, the other two were loose. The bottom stud was stripped, I re-threaded with a tap & die, but can't get the flange to align properly even with all three loose without stripping the bottom again. For now it's bolted tight with the other two torqued to specs until I have more time to do it right. The engine now pulls in full boost like new.
