Default Disappointed

Hi guys!
Well I went to the rolling road this morning and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. The car is running stage 3+ bluefin with the supporting mods and it only made 255bhp at the flywheel. The dyno operator said that it was boosting to 1.2bar at 3500rpm then starts to drop and by the time it's at 5500rpm it's only making 0.9 bar. So to rule out the map I put it back to the standard map and it only made 233bhp. He says he thinks that the actuator has a week spring but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience as I don't want to start buying lots of different bits and not fix it. Any help would be appreciated .

Thanks!

To me, that sounds like the boost solenoid valve needs replacing.
