Default boost

ive just fitted a -31 actuator as my standard one woz fucked n holding like 3 psi which was pants!
anyhow this -31 keeps peakin at like 10psi sumtimes abit more but only in like 4th n 5th on the motorway n i jus back off immediatly and it keeps hittin a flatspot but the thing is it didnt when i 1st put it on it was rapid! wen i first fitted this -31 it was well fast n ther woz no flatspot (yes i no i shud have had it setup, doin it this weekend at weston).
anyhow at the mo if i spool it up slowly n plant my foot it boosts n there isnt always a flatspot, but if i plant my foot sumtimes its like hitting a wall the flatspot is. is this the fuelcut in the ecu? or have i got a fooked tps sensor? i think i jus need less boost tbf until ive had it setup properly but i jus dont understand how it woz boosting really well n now its jus not

Sounds like you need to chip it, as its hitting the boost limiter as what zippyobrien states
