sounds like a 5psi spring (is it?), take off the nut and screw the allen head bolt till its just about flush wiht the wastegate housing, see if you boost properly then...

yes, its a 7psi spring. take off the nut and screw the allen head bolt till its just about flush with the wastegate housing, maybe leave 1 thread left poking out. let us know what happens...

im sure you've done this, but check all your piping and make sure there isnt a leak.
