not very much boost your turbo is probably toast or real close to it take off your intake to the turbo and see how much play the shaft has if its good check your vacuum lines around the wastegate

20mmHG? That would be about 20/760 atm * 14.7=0.386psi. Don't think that's really what you meant, but if you meant 20inHG it'd be closer to about 10psi

I think you need to get an aftermarket boost gauge and see what you boost really is.
