Default There's a pair of wastegate T's back there...
They sit right on the bellhousing. Check that those aren't the source.

Default I know you said you just changed the vacuum lines from the manifold but did you really secure them?
Happened to me when I did the FPR vacuum line going into the manifold. It needed 2 clamps to seal. Use soapy water in a spray bottle and spray all suspected joints.

Default No, wastegate line leak causes overboost, which is exactly what happened to you.
Then you got Throttle Cut due to the overboost.
