Default Boost creep?

just installed a new wastegate actuator , when give full throttle the boost spikes at 0.6 bar and then settles at 0.55bar (8psi) but after a while it just starts rising very slowly.I wasn't paying attention to my boost gauge and all of a sudden I had 0.65 bar.. What's the cause of this?
If i reduce my throttle just a tiny bit it goes back to 0.55 bar and stays there.

thanks

Had another test today, seems that it isn't doing it all the time.. in the lower gears , 1,2,3 it seems to be ok most of the time. 4th,5th all the time. In the lower gears i mostly get 8psi holding. Sometimes i get 9.5 psi at the lower gears. Could it be leak at the amal valve pipes, amal valve not working correctly?

Little help please, thanks
