Get a wrench and close it .

If that happens I would say go ahead and open it up to check it out. If it's sticking try to fix it or get a new one. I would say boost leak though.

do you have a boost gauge in your car? if so what is it reading if not my previous post stands. a vafc only reads vacume and atmospheric preasure. it does not read boost.

ummmm....close your wastegate and you will overboost and your car will go boom boom. If you don't know what to do take it to a shop...seriously.
