Sounds like a air leak. Does it do it at idle? If so listen around for it.

leak in a vacume line.... is your vacume at 0? or very low? check your vacume connections behind the controller.

uh... you set the b/c at 7psi but whats your vacume at idle at?

like sitting in the driveway... not touching the gas...

Im willing to bet it's a vacume leak on one of the connections to your boost gauge or boost controller that got pinched, cracked or is leaking....

I still think you have a vacume leak.... if you didnt hear it before the boost controller install then it has to be the culprit... but -17 to -20 sounds about right if your at sea level...
