Don't T off the Bypass/Blow-off valve lines. These should always be solitary lines and putting a T on them can sometimes cause erratic gauge readings and the valve behaving improperly.

One thing I suggest you take a look at, is to remove the charger itself and inspect the compressor and make sure the blades are not damaged and that it isn't bleeding pressure anywhere internally. Sometimes a charger can be damaged, the oil could be coked up inside and making it very difficult for the compressor to rotate.

PM me, I will try and help you get through it!
