Could be that the wastegate is jammed open, or possiblly broken internally. Even if there were leaks in the system, there would still be some boost beacuse the turbo would just keep adding pressure until the wastegate backed it off. Even some crude boost adustment methods involve bleeding of boost in order to "trick" the wastegate into thinking the boost level is lower than it actually is. It sucks to deal with, but you need to make sure the wastegate itself (in the exhaust) moves as it is supposed to when not connected and the engine is not running. If it feels jammed or struggles to move, this would be your likely problem.

Just seems hard for me to believe it could be anything other than a wastegate problem, otherwise you would at least get boost, even if there were leaks in the system. The amount of boost you are getting (barely any) seems possible even with the wastegate broken\open under full load contitions.

Good luck,
