Sound's like it might be your o2 housing what name brsnd is it also if a cheap brand you might need to match port it to the turbo for better flow and will reduce boost spike.How much boost did you set your controller at and how much is spiking?

What kind or MBC do you have. Some come with two different springs a low and a high boost spring so if you have the high boost spring installed it can only set the boost so low
