sounds like the wastegate isnt controlling any boost so your boost is just goin how ever far it can, do you ever hit any fuel cut or boost cut? what type wastegate are you running?

Yah maybe it's time to get a better wastegate, see if that solves the problem.

have you checked your vaccum line going to your wastegate to see if it has any holes or kinks in it?

hmm its werid the vaccum hose that u hook up to the boost controller, i pluig that and stuck a screw in and ziptie it. IT went back to 5psi. however still small amount of vaccum leaking from it. i think to get 6psi i need to just get a regular screw instead of the screw that have a hole.
