Default turbo problems!

car was working fine and all of a sudden when i started it again it doesnt run right. when ever u mash on it...it gets extreamly loud noise from the engine bay. it builds boost later than usual and it doesnt have the smooth spooling noise.
the car has a 14b and it gets 5psi by 5.5 -6k which it use to do that in 4k. i check the BOV and it seems like its working fine...open uder vacumm and closes under load...but it doesnt blow off. i unpluged and i can hear the small compressor surge. i checked the pipes and they all seem fine. no oil in them either. what could it be that it just started running like that?

thanxs for ur help in advance.

It could be your waste gate, mine came loose, it's an internal wg and boost wouldn't build til 6k rpm. The waste gate bracket had come loose and it got tightened again and now it runs like a champ. Hope that helps.
