Default car losing boost at high rpms only? wastgate? help me out

well, i see that my wg on my turbo was a little bent, and when i take it past 5500 only somtimes the boost drops to zero and i shift then it boosts after a sec, but it boosts 10psi fine until i hit higher rpms, my internal wg is bent so im thinking its geting stuck open or leting go with alot of pressor or somthin, but all i kno is its been doin it since it acsidentaly got bent. you guys think its that? i also herd it could be my car in fail safe mode, but idk ,its weird, just seems like the car dies off for a sec. any help would be much apreciated

if it was fine before you bent the rod then logically it would be the WG

chances are its the wastegate or ur turbo is too small so it dies out in the higher rpm.
