What wastegate? Just throwing this out there, but it sounds like something is slightly loose on or near your exhaust (wastegate actuator maybe, not familiar with FC's anymore), and is tightening up when everything expands.

I'm having a similar problem, except with a coolant leak on my turbo. If it's colder than about 45*F outside, my car will pour white smoke from under the hood until it's warmed up. Still haven't found the damn leak.....
