1.5 bar aint a bar of boost.just under 15psi is a bar.so if that the case your running way too much boost? If your motor set at a bar,then it should hold about 13psi.

Its boost cutting when it hits 1.5bar would be my guess, check for air leaks in the pipework to the actuator and that the actuator is opening the wastegate...
