BOVs do not vent from boost; They vent when the actuator sees vacuum. They are not a device for controlling boost levels.

Cyto, wastegate actuators are generally not cheap. I would start with trying to find a used one to swap in. Have you actually tested the wastegate to see if it is likely that it's sticking?
Actually BOVs do vent boost. Waste gates prevents boost from occurring by venting exhaust gas from the turbo fin.
