Went Non-Seq, whats wrong with my manual boost controller??

I did the non seq setup from Rikki's site. I also installed a manual boost controller at the same time. Now I am only getting 6psi up until around 6000rpm, it slowly creeps up to 8psi. I keep adjusting the boost controller (home depot valve) but it makes no difference. Anyone know whats going on here?? Also just for reference, I dont have an ECU, so I capped off the lines going to the wastegate and switched connectors. Was I supposed to cap of the lines going to pre control, and than switch connectors?

There are no pills, just vacuum hose.

Rikki, I did it and it was working great, my car has never felt faster, and no more boost problems. But it was only boosting 9psi, so I went to turn it up and now the boost is falling off and it was acting kind of like the seq. setup. I also heard a hissing noise but couldnt see any rips or loose piping or anything. Thanks for all the help.

Yep I T'd them. The boost dropping happened suddenly, so I am thinking maybe something came unplugged, or maybe the tca door got some slack?
