Sticky wastegate actuator? No boost.

Getting a strange issue.
The car seems to boost up fine in second gear, but shift to third and it may as well be normally aspirated.

Could this be a possible sticky wastegate actuator?
Can these be cleaned out?
Anything else I should be looking at?

Pretty stock GC8 + TD04.
No boost controller
Stock ECU
