Correct me other experts if im wrong, but that dont sound good to me mate.

Boost doesnt mean power, boost is a measure of restriction.
Sounds to me like the exhaust was flowing well enough that it was producing the maximum airflow it could, then you added a restriction, making the boost fly up to produce the same power

Hmm
