this sounds stupid, but does the car FEEL like it hits boost? you could have blown your gauge line off.

and chekc the gasket between the gate and the mani...could have blown it out

and might as well take the top off the gate, and check out the diaphram...it's not hard and would take about as much time as coming on here and posting, haha.

good luck!

Could even be your downpipe loosened from the turbo itself. It's a lot of things. Eye everything....
