Several possibilities:

1/ you may have an air leak somewhere. Take a look at all the pipework around the turbo and see if one of the hoses has come undone.

2/ Could also be that the wastegate is jammed/held partially open all the time - that'd give you lower max boost.

3/ The up pipe/headers could have split or one of the joints has come loose so the exhaust is exiting before it spins the turbo.
