you have a problem with your boost soleniod probably or your boost control lines, you are running wastegate spring pressure only. which is .6 mpa once you fix that issue your ecu can control boost again and you should get approx .8 - .9 on a stock ecu . If you have had your ecu mapped you may have it in low boost mode if it has 2 maps , if so , try

1. - with the ignition switch "on" press and hold full throttle
2. - turn on the rear window defrost switch
3. - release full throttle and turn off defrost switch.
4. - see if you have more boost.

hope this helps, if you cant figure it out, take it into Nate @ the shop.
