No detonation no problems.... just listen carefully for pings. Sounds like a malfunctioning wastegate actuator to me. Check the hose to the wastegate, replace it regardless of condition, as it is very important to the well being of your motor. The diaphragm inside actuator may be ripped. Test it with a bike airpump by connecting pressure to the wastegate rod actuator. If it moves, you're in business, it was the hose, and if not, replace the wastegate actuator.
