Default FI trouble, -5 boost max?

This is not my Corvette, but my other car.

Up until this weekend, it drove fine. Now, yesterday I take it out and it's no longer making boost. The most I'm getting is -5 instead of the +15psi I normally get. What's the first thing to look for?

I'm thinking the waste gate is stuck open... Please point me in the correct direction. Standard FI troubleshooting (it's my first time working on a turbo car).

I found the problem
That's the airbox where the air filter resides


That's part of what was in there


Let's hope nothing went into the engine!
