take a look at hose conected to the nipple on the wastegate actuator, see if its conected. may possibly be a leak in the actuator diaphram and need replaced. not sure what else, good luck

i agree with the wastegate needing to be checked and probably replaced. You might incur some damage from running 20psi

sounds like a bad boost controler. Mine did the same thing, I took it off and ran stock wastegate press and it fixed it... Try that and see if it corrects it if not its a bad gate.
