Its very likely you need either a remap or a non OE boost controller, I've no direct experience, but its not an uncommon problem with decat DP's and TD04's.

It' overboosting, the ECU is compensating using it's boost control strategy, you probably only notice it in higher gears. As mentioned, using an aftermarket boost controller or a remap will sort this.
