Default Turbo Stopped Working, wtf is wrong with my car

yesterday i was racing my friends rx-7 and i downshifted into to third and my rpms went to like 4 and my car bogged and than there was no turbo, at 3-4 grand the car dies out, i looked at the obvious vacuum lines and it didnt look like any of them were off. what could be wrong with my car, i checked a few other things but i wanna see what you all have to say. my cars coming off the road in a few days so i wanna try to fix it before.

I agree with MarkC. Check all your intercooler connections and your wastegate. Your wastegate could be stuck open. It happened to me.

how did you fix it, i had work all day today so i didnt get to check anything, i just drove it easy all the way there with no blow off sound, , if it is stuck open wouldnt i hear the wastegate sound all the time, cuase i dont know, the car is a lot lower in volume. I didnt try to get on it but i can tell if i did it would rev that high anyway, any other thoughts besides any that were said or it should be the piping most likely? what about any vacuum lines? I know i have my lines different than the most of you, my spliter is by my fpr and fmu and i just have a straight one from my turbo to wastegate with nothing in there, is that all correct too? let me know thanks!
