There is a direct relation between a/f and how the car will boost. I have seen that the leaner or closer I get to 12.5/1, the more torque and the more boost spike I get and the richer it is, the less torque and boost spike that I will get, but that is all within reason.
Its possible you are pig rich with the stock td04, but you may also have the base boost set way too low and that will also determine how much the turbo will boost too. I can make my car boost a lot more by increasing the base boost as suggested up top. I just run a 5 dollar helper spring instead of the expensive forge units. Its cheap and adjustable!
You also may have a sticking bpc valve, you might want to try cleaning it and blowing it out with compressed air. Good luck,
John
