Nick...
Is you boost falling off after a certain RPM??? if so, thats pretty normal on a stock turbo.
Also.. check your manifold to block bolts.. the back two on my turbo (installed at the dealership) had fallen off and my boost fell off like a sumbitch after that.. Funny, cause you'd think you'd be able the hear that, but it just sounded like a little tick tick tick when the car was cold, after it warmed up, it was barely noticible (well, over the exhaust anyway)

A perfectly working stock compressor will fall off at high revs.
It was designed to not blow up the motor.
If you want boost all the way to the red line, you will have to start modifying the fuel, compressor, & boost control.
