Weld the wastegate flapper shut. That should solve all your problems.

Pictures would help alot.Check to see the wastegate flapper is closed and moving as it should.Then start looking for boost leaks as a little leak can bleed alot of pressure off.

Pull the WG rod off the flapper, tie the WG shut TIGHT with some wire, go for a very careful cruise (don't overboost to 15psi or so) and then report back.
