Default boost dying off with spring style wg?

Well I have a dsm t25 and the wg broke during the shipping process so I'm using the ol' carb spring method. It works fine except the boost dies off near redline, since it can't adjust like a normal wastegate. Is this what happens to everyone elses? I'm guessing there's no way to fix it really besides get a wastegate?

yeah happening to me too, i used to have a wire and a spring where the wire had enough slack to where once it reached 7 psi it stops it but will allow gas through, but this was a pain in the *** to fine tune but worked not to mention the burns from adjusting it right after.
