Could be a vacuum line being hooked up to the wrong thing, or maybe you don't have a firing ring for your wastegate and that could be leaking the exhaust right through your wastegate.

Idk if you have seen this or if you got it with your wastegate, but did you hook it up like this?

Yupp thats wrong... Run the vaccume source from your "T" to the boost controller. Then from the boost controller to the side port on the wastegate. Leaving the top port to be vented to the atmosphere. Good look on putting the vaccume source before the throttle body.
