Boost controller on but less boost

my wastegate on my T3 maxed out at 5PSI on my boost guage, so i added a Turbo XS boost controller and turned it up a little, i took it for a drive and it was only getting like 3PSI, whats up with that i though that the boost controller could only make it go up not down??

Re:Boost controller on but less boost

Thats pretty much impossible for a MBC to make it go lower, I would also suggest rechecking all the IC piping, try taking the MBC off again and seeing if it goes back to 5psi.
