Default 2016 Chev Trax. P0236, P1101 and 2227 codes

I am working on a friends 2016 Chevy Trax and am getting P0236, P1101 and a P2227 codes. I have replaced or repaired all PCV issues, All sensors, MAP, MAF, PCV Bypass kit, Smoke tested to check for air and vacuum leaks with no leaks noted. but I am getting way to much crankcase pressure. It has blown the front seal out twice and blowing oil of the cams seals. My Turbo boost sensor is reporting 29.50 lbs ( on a 14lb turbo at idle) and does not change upon acceleration so I will be replacing the sensor tomorrow but more importantly it seems to me that my turbo bypass valve is not being activate. Scanner is showing that the Turnbo Boost Solenoid is reporting (inactive) which makes sense to me because the boost is going directly into the crank case. My question is, I pulled the solenoid off and bench tested and appears to work correctly. My question is what commands the Solenoid to show as Active and what can I do to manually test that it is working?? So Frustrated. If it was my car I would have crushed it. (Never selling this abomination to anyone else) HELP!! I need to fix this for the owner to have her car back to haul her kids around.
