Wastegate?

Check for leaks in the intake plumbing, fouled spark plugs and check for diagnostic error codes (most likely either AFM related, abnormal turbo pressure, lean conditions or knock).

What boost gauge are you using and where is it connected? You should be hitting at least 5psi without a boost controller, even on a weak waste gate actuator.

We have both the stock boost gauge and aftermarket gauge hooked up, its tapped into a line that goes to the boost pressure sensor.
