I have a split in my turbo intake pipe and mine does the same thing. It is situated under the manifold, should be a black hose unless its a samco which a doubt will be split

You could spray brake cleaner around engine to check for leaks but you need to be careful when doing it.
Are the plugs ok? Are the coil packs good and reading ok?

Yes m8 plugs are new . Checked the actuator today and its a none adjustable one and it just slips over the waste gate pin there is no preload on it . I'm starting to think its over boosting

Right just a quick update the car has had it's bost solenoid changed,cam sensor changed,crank sensor changed and is running on Newage coil packs all vac pipes changed and it is still hesitating / misfiring at around 4k the car will quite happily rev on the spot but on the road under load it just feels like its hesitating . If I do not boost it it goes above 4k no problem.
Help needed as I now don't no where to turn

Put a bottle of forta down its neck and give it a good old thrashing. ..... Could be something as simple as a sticky injector
