Anything you've changed after you installed the wastegate & after you saw 6 lbs?

Where is your boost reference line coming from and how long is it?

drill a hole in the charge side of the turbo, thread it, teflon tape it, and put a nipple on there and hook the w/g straight up to the turbo

I'd use the FPR or other direct vacuum line to the boost gauge and test. Maybe there's a pinched line or something somewhere?

We need some pictures to determine more.

So are you saying that it use to open at 6psi and now its 9? If so........ Congratulations You have moved up in the world of boost. Now get a mbc and put that ---- on the Nig Nog Setting


Take starting fluid and start spraying the outside of all your vacuum conections/tb and intake mani and when you idle jumps way up you will find the leak and mabey cure your problem.
