I fitted an EBC a couple of weeks ago and initially it didn't work due to a poor connection, when I ran the car (97 uk 2000) I also got 9 psi. This is because the boost solenoid is not working and the waste gate is opening, normally the solenoid valve would stay closed until the desired pressure of 12-14 psi, thus keeping the waste gate shut. Therefore this suggest your boost solenoid is faulty or not receiving power.
