Sounds like the wastegate is now stuck open. Unhook the actuator, get some penetrating lube and hose the shaft down real good, then start trying to work the lever back and forth. You'll get it freed up eventually.

Check Gaskets

Did you check to see if you have an exhaust leak off the manifold. Even a small one can cause a big loss of boost.
