does it go back and forth as the engien revs higher? if so i would says u have a boost leak. check all ur hose couplings and gaskets i guess. if not maybe sumthin is up with ur wastedate

The other possibility is that your 3BOV spring rate is set really low, but not very likely, check for boost leaks. I would also check the operation of the waste gate.
