You may need to use a Dawes device to control the boost at the top end, sounds as though the improved exhaust system is allowing this. My MY94 STi did exactly the same when I put a good exhaust system on it with a K&N filter. The Dawes is an outstanding boost control device.

Try cleaning the boost solenoid with brake cleaner
