I can't see the pic, but if your wastegate is dented, it is most likely malfunctioning and not allowing the wastegate to open properly.

You could be hitting fuel or boost cut I have that same issue right now, minus the dent in the WGA....probably because I am untuned at the moment and waiting on that. Too much boost past 5k.

Yeah me too, right after my cam install. Mine came up as Overboost, tried turning down the boost but it still came back on. So I definately need a tune.

nonoo, change that wastegate at some point... Im not promising that is the problem causing the code, but it could lead to a bad problem.
