Guess this would be my list:
1) Check the gasket: My head bolts were pretty loose at 100k so I retorqued them carefully (using originals). You can just get away with this once. All is well 35k miles later - still orig gasket.
2) Wastegate actuator. If you are still running the original then it may be leaking and stopping you seeing full boost. By 100k miles and running higher boost, it will be tired.
3) DI cassette as you state. This will be intermittent but will generally result in a misfire as the boost rises and the DI load increases.
4) A leak - make sure you have replaced all the small bore tubes with new stuff (apart from the MAP sensor one - should be orig. Saab). Check all other pipes for leaks.
5) Weak Dump valve can cause issues.
