Default Intercooler fitted now lost power!

Hello, I have a standard erst turbo engine with d/v I decided to put a pace intercooler on and now the boost shoots way over 10psi what it was set at and I have lost alot of power compared to what it was before, is it just a case of turning the boost down?

HELP!!
