Turbo compressor defect?

Hi,
Perhaps a Turbo connaisseur knows what's wrong with my car.
It's a Saab 900 Turbo 8 valve, Silver Arrow series #152.
Since some time, my pressure falls just when the Turbo is kicking in.
Hence, I can accellerate gently, but when I press the accellerator pedal too much, pressure and power fall. The car holds back with a bit of a shudder. In the engine bay I can hear a 'dryish' scream. Probably the turbocompressor. What I expected to hear and feel, however is engine power, being pushed in my seat and a nice Turbo howl.
Can anybody tell me what seems to be the problem from this description?
Somebody has adviced me to check if the hose on the wastegate was still in place. Well, it is. I hoped that this would be it. Too bad.
Thanks for your effort!
