Default I can't make anymore HP..

don't really know whats going on but I can't seem to make any more horse power. I went to the dyno today to run my can and to have them tune it. I made 224whp on 6psi, its down from my first 245whp cause I had them add more fuel in. I just wanted to be safe rather then sorry. Anyways I had them do another run at it at 8psi, I couldn't believe it but I made 226whp. The graph was a little smoother and I peaked a lil higher thats it. The shop said it was cause 1. my intercooler is too small 2. the wastegate just dumps exhaust gas into the engine (I don't got a dump pipe) 3. Bad piping design.
What do you guys think?

you should be at 300 hp easily with that set up,even alot higher with tunning i would think,have you done a comp test to see where your engine stands?i really dont think the size of your intercooler will hurt hp too much,unless its actually cuasing it to block the boost.post some pics of yuour set up.
