Defo sounds like over boost to me, is the actuator working ok? I have known them to stick shut before now.

The wastegate rods have been known to jam within the exhaust covers therefore do a quick inspection around the turbo wastegate area.

If this is not the issue then replace the boost solenoid valve with the old one and see if theres any change.
