2008 Wagon with No Boost

A few threads below discusses my 2008 9-5 that suddenly died on the road. The shop diagnosed it as a bad direct ignition cassette, which was replaced with an old one I had lying around. The car ran fine after that, except there was no boost (needle just went to atmospheric, where the yellow starts in the older gauges).
I thought it might be due to having an old DIC, so I replaced it with a new one I just bought (along with a new crank position sensor, which was tons of fun to replace). Still no boost. I pulled fuse 17 for about a minute to reset the ECU, and still nothing. It's not pulling any check engine codes, and I can't seem to find a vacuum leak (all the hoses seem good, although I haven't checked too thoroughly yet).
Up to the point where it died, it was driving really nicely, with good power and boost. Actually for the last week or two, it seemed a bit peppier than usual. Spark plugs are new (5,000 miles, NGK PFR6-H10).
Any ideas? It's drivable, so I can get to/from work, but not very quickly. :(
Thanks in advance.
