Detonation?

Sounds like detonation. Your needle shouldn't go into the red at all, if stock. Should go about 3/4 of the way into yellow, but not quite to red.
If you're not using high-octane fuel, try that first. This will not fix the -problem- but may prevent detonation, which is the negative side-effect. More boost isn't necessarily a "problem" =)
Anywho, check to see if the wastegate rod is still connected at the retaining clip. See pic below. If it is, check all the vacuum hoses to see if they're leaking. If they are all in good condition, then odds are your wastegate is stuck and will need to be replaced.
