Default Losing boost from wastegate?

I have a drag 4 kit installed on my 94 accord after driving the car for a while I park it and wait 5 minutes then drive it again. It feels as if it isn't getting any gas like it is hesitating or something. then boom the power kicks in. I rev the engine and I hear a funny sound coming out of my Delta Wastegate. Like air is leaking out. Could the wastegate be bad? If so, how can I tell. The boost gauge reads 5psi, but it doesn't climb as quickly as it use to before. Feels like I am loosing boost or something. I thought it was the Vortech FMU, but after hearing the sound out of the Delta wastegate I don't know any more.

Any help would be appreciated.
