Are you sure you don't have a boost leak? Any whistling noises under the hood?

COuld be a few things. 1: your DV is worn and is venting. Or your wastegate could be stuck open...I would check the DV first. Do you have an underhood shot by any chance?

damn...good thing these turbos are fairly common. Is there shaft play? It could be just oil cooked in there somewhere...can you move it with your finger?
