The wastegate actuator not responding quick enough to rising boost levels, thus the boost spikes beyond your set point.
IE. WG is fully open at 8 psi, and you get a "spike" when you floor it, and the boost goes above your preset level.

thats when you're boost steadily creeps past where it is supposed to max at, as opposed to a quick spike...caused by a wastegate thats unable to release enough exhaust gas at a fast enough rate
