Have you checked the WG?
Are you running stock turbos?

One of your intakes hoses probably popped off. Double check the connections and look for cracks in the plastic pieces as well.

In the 3rd gen FAQ stickied in this forum, scroll down to the T section and start reading the links for Turbo Troubleshooting.

Its normally not the wastegate. Usually a boost leak from a coupler, one or more of the vacuum hoses popped off, or an issue with a solenoid or a check valve.

My FD RX7 has the same issue. The gaskets are blown out, I am currently fixing this. this also may cause you to loose boost. Its worth checking. Usually you can hear it though.
