Why am i the only one with this problem :(

I have a boost problem were it goes only up to 19 lbs no matter wat mbc it tapers really fast, my current mbc is FORGE UNOS , i have it running just like the instructions , one going to the inlet/outlet tube and the other to the westgate actuator like most are doing it, i used new vacummm hoses to prevent any hidden stock solenoids, wen i turned the mbc it was like this

1- turn - 13psi
2- turns- 18psi
3- turns- 19psi
4-10 turns 19 psis


Like it can go lower than that but no higher, i had a different mbc before(turbo xs standard) and it was the same exact thing.

Please help me with any tips or pictures that you may have or if you ever ran into this error tell me how you fixed it, thanks.

check your spring. i have a hallman MBC and it came with 2 springs. i couldn't get one spring to go about 20psi the spring just wasn't stiff enough to hold it closed. so i put a new stiffer spring in it and it works like a charm.

Disconnect the vac house from the wastegate completly and then go see what you boost. If you do not boost more than 19psi this way then you have a problem with something else, ie bad wastegate, wastegate to loose, boost leak, turbo problem or your gauge is wrong.
