Sturz,
Judging from your symptoms I would say you definetely have a wastegate problem. The "typical" way to check is, as you have already done, to pull the "W" hose.
Other POSSIBLE reasons for base boost only is:
- knock sensor detecting (real or false) knocking
- fuel delivery problems (check fuel pressure is linear 3 bar above boost pressure).
Good luck!
/ Karl
P.S Make sure to check boost using a real boost gauge, not the in-dash gauge which is very "erratic" in terms of how much boost it shows. Base boost is ended of dashed-red in my car. D.S
