"I'm kinda confused by your comments. If the rod fell off your wastegate actuator you wouldn't have a loss of power; rather, your boost would continue rising at full throttle until you eventually threw a rod or otherwise detonated the vehicle."

Nope. When the wastegate actuator comes off the wastegate, the wastegate goes full open and you get zero boost. Just ask my son. He came home one day, and told me his car needed a turbo. After I asked him what he thought that would cost, I jacked the car up, re-attached to arm and installed a cotter pin. That is the cheapest turbo overhaul I have ever done!
