so your running a vf-30 without the supporting mods (injectors,FP, EM, up/down pipe)?

anyways, not much help but, sounds like your wastegate is not opening. this happend to me before. check all hoses that run to/from your turbo. check the conectors. (sorry i dont know the proper names) what happend to me was one of my plastic hose connectors melted and was cloged (the one that tells the wastegate to open). wastegate not opening = non-stop rise in boost.

i'm sure the gurus on this bored can help you alot more. and yeah try changing your title.

try using a boost controller, like a AVC-R. I had a similar issue and with the AVC-R, the problem went away.
