If the guy at the dealer said it was a wastegate, RUN! Find another dealer. Was it a service writer? They usually don't know jack. If it was service manager or tech find another dealer. No wastegate. It could be a number of things like VGT actuator.

Well, tell them that your 6.0 doesn't have a wastegate because it is a Variable Geometry Turbo. Tell them to write it up and have it fixed.
