What's wrong with my boost?

I finally got a boost gauge and did the base boost troubleshooting as recommended on this site and townsend. With the apc solenoid still plugged in im getting 5.5 psi. When I unplug the solenoid I get 3.5 psi. What is going on here? I tested the APC solenoid,its fine. Pressure transducer is fine. APC box is plugged in. etc etc. I turned the waste gate rod so much that there's only one complete turn left on the rod. Could these low numbers be an indication of boost being dumped somewhere? A vacuum leak? Would a bad catalytic convertor cause something like this? I've been trying to solve this for several weeks now and I am stumped. I also purchased a Red APC Box. But this didnt change anything. Need lots of help and suggestions. I wanna fly.
