Is this under driving conditions or are you just revving the motor?
Dose the arm on the waste gate have play?
Have you checked to see if your BOV is closing?
Check your charge pipes for leaks.

Car wont build boost just reving the motor unless its off the limiter If your driving the car and you arnt getting any boost u probably have a charge pipe off or a really bad exhaust leak pre turbo.
