Sounds a bit like a problem I had
My tc would start breaking up at high rpm when boosting
It turned out to be a boost leak at the intake manifold
New gasket with some copper spray fixed it up and it revs perfect now
I would check any other areas between the turbo and head if in fact the problem is only when your boosting
