hmmmmmm very strange, straight away id say wastgate but if you have checked then im puzzled.Best bet is to take turbo off and get a good look at the waste gate "penny" and check is complete and closing properly.Is there tension on the actuator? maybe the spring has given up.... If there isnt large amounts of play and the shaft spins freely i can only think of a boost leak......... i can inspect for you if you are stuck and only charge for postage

the shaft deffo not snapt??
