Overboosting...still

Overboosting...still
So tonight was my first long trip in the 850 tonight.
Well...I took it for a 40 min round trip. It didn't have problems starting, running or any of that.
BUT...When I floored it on the road, it pulled. Oh boy did it ever. HARD
But it started to hit fuel cut and the boost needle would go slightly past the white range.
What could this be?
Its got a fresh tune up and everything else is still in check.
The last thing the car needs is the PNP switch which will be getting done tomorrow
Any ideas?
I can drive it just fine cruising which is great. The A/C froze my manhood off.

Ok so check this out. It is a simple test to check if your wastegate is functionaing properly
Disconnect the vac line running from wastegate actuator to your tcv. Blow into the actuator and see if your wastegate open. If not then the wastegate is probably stuck.
If it does open I believe it is a tcv problem.

I haven't had a chance to test yet, but after getting fresh premium gas in the cut out isn't so violent. Its almost as it is just limiting boost, but not all together bucking like it did before.
I did forget to mention previously that when you do floor it there is a smell of fuel or something.

I don't know if this will apply to you or not, but ever since I put on my new exhaust, which is a straight pipe, no cat and only a small muffler, whenever I floor it I get the smell of fuel/exhaust inside the car. I was like wtf? Then after thinking about it, I rolled up all my windows, floored it, and nothing. It was the way the air flowed around the car that exhaust fumes were making their way back into the cabin. Maybe your cat is no longer functioning. Just a thought.
