Default Boost Problems

Well I've just installed my Forge Wastegate Actuator and finally gotten it to work but now I've noticed a problem with the boost. I just finished the wastegate project so I havent checked the base boost yet, hopefully its not too high, but there is a new problem. The car seems to build up boost just fine, although its been a long time since ive felt the boost, but now the boost shot up to the end of the gauge. On my other boost guage it showed it went all the way up to 20psi, which is the max it can go, I think the two are related and it just stopped there because the gauges ran out of room. But the strange part is, it doesnt feel like im running 20 pounds of boost, it barely feels like anything. Does anyone have an idea to what this could be? Im seeing the boost gauge skyrocket but I dont feel like the boost is actually coming in, any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
Phil

Upon driving it around today I noticed a hissing noise from the left side of the car when ever the throttle is not in, this all kinda sounds like a bad bypass valve, does anyone agree? The boost is still kinda crazy, it definately feels like im getting less than what it is showing me I am getting. Any ideas on this one?
