2014 2.2L Turbo problems

Hi peeps. I know my ranger is not very commonly discusses, but im running out of places that might have the info i need to do the repair.

I have air leaking between my manifold and turbo. And i wonder if it can be fixed by using a high quality liquid gasket maker?
''P2599 - Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor A Performance - Stuck High'' is the error i have. after extensive and extensive troubleshoothing, someone told me to check for leakage..and after applying some soapy water on the part where the manifold and turbo connect, bubble fest. Had a shop do a liquid gasket fix and the car ran 100% again! It was magnificent! About 100km of driving later (the place where i got fixes is about that far away) the performance loss and error came back. leaking is back.


Some info: This started happening after a new turbo was installed by a workshop. About an hour after the repair, i received an error code and the truck went into limp mode. I was unable to go back to the shop since there is a curfew in our country and the shop was in the capital that is under attack by resistance forces... So only one way to go, home.
The error kept coming about every hour. Stop engine, startup again and i could drive, rinse and repeat.
The shops here are very limited in knowledge, so even going to the official ford dealer, the response was, you need OEM turbo, and new injectors....i knew that was not correct.
So it was a leak between the flanges(?) im not good with techincal terms, im a youtube self taught ''fixer''.

Thanks for any input ! Appreciate it in advance!
