The idle RPM doesnt really worry me. You need to monitor your oil pressure and not with the idiot gauge. You need a real mechanical gauge. You also need to get some compression numbers and leak down numbers. If the piston hits or the debris in the engine did damage those three things will tell you real fast. If you dont watch those things you will learn the trick of draining your oil in 1.2 seconds with no tools.

I'm sure the boost bypass solenoid could fail, but most of the time they are just in need of adjustment. However this problem is usually cvase of reduced boost, not a complete loss of boost. Is it possible you've got the boost bypass lines crossed and the bypass is being held open?
