boost issues

Hey guys, I have an 88 t2 with 64k miles. I bought a 3inch dp, gutted cat, 3inch cat back, k&n air filter. The car has the stock turbo and wg, here is my problem. The most boost I get is in 3 gear and it is 8 psi, 1st and 2ng gear 5 psi. I have tried putting an mcb in and no change, I took off the wg vacume line out and no difference. Any suggestions?

Maybe your turbo is toasted... Checked the shaft play lately?
