So I was coming home boosted 25 psi in 4th gear it went to 25 and like started fluctuating 24-25 real fast then something went pop.

Now no boost, thinking my wastegate went poop, what u guys think? Turbo still spools but doesn't make boost no air leaks either. Car runs perfect, and vacuum is too.

Does your boost gauge go over 0? If not, then a boost pipe came off. If you're getting some PSI of boost but it takes longer than normal for the turbo to hit that PSI, then it is your wastegate (pretty sure that a 38mm opening in the manifold is not enough to stop all exhaust flow to the turbo).
