First off you can not lower boost with a boost controller only raise it.
Second. Is it an internal or external wastegate?

You can't make the boost go down any lower than what the wastegate is set at only up.

Ive been told this also and by many others.

Weird thing is.. When I first got my car boosted. With a 38mm .4bar tial and a Generic MBC spring/ball type. I could fully adjust the boost from 1psi-20ps+

Not sure why, but it did.
