Ram, For a quick test, clamp or pull off the hose that goes from the APC solenoid to the wastegate and see whether your boost improves. If you get mondo boost then your wastegate is probably OK, troubleshoot the APC system. Splits or leaks in the induction pipes and their boots are a common cause of this problem. As mentioned, the connectors sometimes come loose from the APC brain too. Good luck.
