hmmm is it internal or external..
i'm tipping internal so i would think maybe the Vac hose has come off the actuator vac vessel. on the turbo..
Manual Boost controller.???? if so has it been adjusted to fully open
Is the actuator arm on the flap control arm??

Okay so, have a look at your turbo manifold and turbo, does it have a seperate pipe running to a wastegate, follow the boost line from your turbo to the wastegate actuator, if the line ends up on your turbo still then you have an internal gated turbo.... if not and it goes to a seperate flange on your manifold you'd have an external wastegate.

If you have an internal wastegate you may need a new actuator.
