Are you 100% sure your ecu is not chipped as it should cut it at 9-10 psi if it's not chipped

your ecu must be chipped otherwise the overboost protection would kick in at 10.5 psi.
what was the pre-load set to on the -31? what boost were you running before?

i had the same sort of problem with mine, turned out to be a weak actuator and the wastegate sticking open wich resulted in the car boosting to 20psi before overboost would kick in. car wa snot chipped and doesnt have a bleed valve

Bleed valves are shit mate - the ECU should be controlling everything. Take it to a specialist and let them sort it out.
