Hmmm. Well, if it isn't knock sensing, then my next guess would be ignition misfiring. As Ari and Dave suggest, go to a narrower plug gap (it's a "free" fix, after all) and see if that makes a difference.
I don't believe a leaky wastegate would act that way, but I'm not certain. I would mess with the ignition end of things first before I replaced the wastegate. It sounds like that's where your problem is. At higher RPMs and under boost, spark timing and intensity are critical, so make sure you have a healthy coil, new wires, rotor contacts and distributor cap are clean, etc. Then try regapping the plugs down to around 0.028 or so... I think that's what people are using on NGKs. (Anyone have a favorite number?)
