If you have a screw on wastegate flange make sure it's sealed for sure. Having a decent leak there will play with the pressures quiet a bit. My friends car spiked up to about 20psi because of it.

it is a screw on wastegate flange i checked it. There are no leaks but when i try to tighten it a little more, the pressure went down it surges to about 1 bar. so i think I'm getting somewhere?

Get it where you want it and have someone weld it up. Screw on flanges are a joke.
