If so, it could be that. If you would like to try my turboxs and see if it makes a difference LMK. It is not even on my car right now, so it would just be a simple matter of swapping them out. It would at least allow you to rule it out.

That's about what I expected. What kind of modification of the internal wastegate is possible to improve sealing under high exhaust pressure?

If even or you have to push the arm into the actuator to get it back on you're flapper does not have the correct pre-tension and is likely not fully shut while building boost.
Remedy woudl be to "adjust" the arm to give slight pretension, or if not adjustable, add washer(s) to the WG mounting bracket
Taken from t00ners as well.

Just some other thoughts...

3. Perform a intake leak test like everyone suggested, fix all leaks until system is able to hold about 20psi for a reasonable amount of time. If problem persists after this, you probably have a dying turbo running out of steam at higher RPMs.
Good luck.
