Boost gauge install

So i have gotten my def-link boost gauge installed, and it looks freakin sweet. I am however a bit concerned. When I WOT the gauge sweeps all the way up 21 psi sometimes....sometimes to 19.5 psi where it is supposed to be on my car stock(my car is stock), or somewhere in between. I want to have dead accurate reading, especially for when I start fine tuning, boost, and other mods. So...Is anyone else having similar probs?, Is my car actually hitting 21 psi occasionally when I WOT?, Is my boost gauge defective/broken/uncalibrated? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Manual boost controller or ECU dynoflash can help but . Everyone is noticing some boost spikes but they dont seem to maintain and the complete gone with manual boost controller or adjustments with the electronic units.
