You got the engine managment lamp on?

Sounds like it is in limp mode - some ST's have suffered this with certain dump valves. Get a dreamscience induction system then you get the full wastegate flutter and the dump valve noise.

P.S get a remap - it will then boost to full haha

Not had new tyres fitted recently have you? I know that if there is a big difference in wear between front and rear tyres then it may bring the warning light on. There was an update for the ECU available from ford to fix this!

Good to hear you all sorted now - mine goes through spats of it but a few people have found with some dump valves the fault stays for a while
