Yeah.. you need a new wastegate, or some way to retrieve the broken-off barb from inside your current one, then tap and thread it for a new barb, install, and enjoy. Of course.. this would have to be done with the wastegate off the turbo.

If your WG isn't reading boost from the compressor housing, intake manifold, or some other source, it's just going to keep boosting and never open. That's how the system works, once it reads enough pressure from your system to overcome the resistance in the WG, it opens. No boost signal, nothing to overcome the spring resistance, no WG dump.

You'll be ok driving it around just be very careful and DONT boost it. Drive like a grandma.
