Default need second opinion

ok i was having over boosting issues with my wastegate.
i have a peakboost equal length manifold & 44mm vband tial wastegate.
with my electronic boost controller toruned off i would hit levels of .9-1.0 bar
once i opened up the gate i found my spring to be the small yellow one 2. psi &
a portion of the diaphram was pinched by the lid. my order cam in yesterday and i changed the diaphram, but due to the rain in the ny area i have not been able to take the car out.
my question is would a small portion of the diaphram being pinched cause overboosting?
