Default check engine 3/4/5 gear boost stuttering ?

i juist bought myself a 99 impreza gt last week with some mods.
It got a supersprint downpipe and a ems ecuteck 250/260pk and a boost gauge the rest is stock.
but already got some issues with the car.
First off the the check engine light sometimes comes on when the engine is cold at low rpm will stay there till i give it some gass about 2500 rpm and its gone.
When the engine is warm its gone completely.

the second thing i have in 3 gear when i give full full throttle at 4000/5000
its starts to stutter and holding back the boost gauge start tripping around 1 bar and 1.1 bar (14 psi/15) 4 gear is the same and 5 especially form low rpm
it will go up little more than 1.3bar(18psi) and starts stuttering is this the fuel cut ?
1 and 2 gear run fine holds its boost go's up to 1.3 and falls back to 1.1 and stays there. Im new to these boxers engines i hope tiss forum could help me

replaced the knock sensor code is gone now. But the problem is still remains im thinking its the actuator thats stuck and the wastegate is shut i couldn't move the actuator by hand. Could this result to overboosting and
and stuttering and boost going up and down ?
Also i could pull down the Original dump valve with my thum is this normal ?
Im a bit lost hope you can help me.
