Default trying to increase my boost from wastegate

right now im trying to increase my boost(current WG at 7psi), i bought a manual boost controller and for some reason i cant turn the boost up to 10 from inside my car, but when i move the boost controller closer to the wastegate i get up to about 8-9. but from inside the car i only get up to 7-8psi.
Im guessing i need a bigger dia hose or just leave the mbc in the engine bay and not go up to 10 psi? i was told my dyno #'s were at 10 psi.

If you want it to be controlled from inside the car get an EBC not a mbc
