Sounds like your running too much boost for a standard ecu, I belive the limit is 8psi on ofab? Try adjusting the boost to 8psi and see what happens.

I bet thats you problem. If you have your actuator wound right in the preload will be higher thus holding to much boost.
Its the same with the bleed valve, if you have it closed the actuator will not work and the wastegate will not open!!
