Default boost problem

hi i have just changed my turbo. having a bit of bother the boost is set at 16 psi when it gets there in 1st 2nd 3rd gear the boost drops of to 0 i think the waste gate is staying open but in 4th and 5th gear it over boosts? that is with the amal valve controling boost. i then took a pipe stright off turbo to actuator it boosted to about 11 psi but at 6000 rpm in every gear the waste gate opened and stayed open?
does anyone have any idea to what the problem might be?

chears pete

p.s everything was fine untill i changed turbo and i have double checked hoses etc.

please help
