Question Turbo,i think?

About 5 months ago i cut the muffler out and replaced it with a piece of 4'', and about two months later my turbo went south on me so i pulled it in the shop and pull the turbo off and all of the fins were destroyed the only thing there was a flat round piece so i sent the turbo off to have it rebuilt while the turbo was in the shop i decided to check the compression rates they all read 350, i then sent my intercooler off to have it cleaned up too, once i got my turbo back and got everything back together i was ready for a test drive, the first time i drove i dont think my waste gate opens even to this day but i think eventually opens dues to very high exhuast pressure,because when i drive it easy it doesnt make a noise but when i have to get on it, it makes a really loud air pressure noise and it never did before. what do yall think could be wrong? if more detail needed just ask. Thank You!
