Default erst boost problem

hi there, back to the rs scene, after some bmw ownership lol, got a rst, the boost gauge says it boosting to .9 bar and dropping to around .5, but doesnt seem to be pulling as it should, doesnt seem to hardly be boosting at all, although there seems to be enough boost for the dump valve to make a healthy sound, anyone help? many thanks

Is your actuator ok the spring might be worn . Could be a cheap fix
