When I had a similar problem to yours, my wastegate valve did not close properly thus I got only 10 lbs of boost. This can be hard to see. What I did was I took the wastgate housing off the turbo and sprayed some "rust off" spray from wurth on the mecanisim that the wastegate actuator connects to. Slowly it came loose (with some help)and problem fixed.
Fairly easy job
Hope this helps.
