wastegate problems?

installed a manual boost controller (dont worry i installed it correctly and made sure)....and an fcd....and no matter what position the mbc is in, whether turned all the way down or all the way up...it still boosts the same...i made sure the lines had no leaks between the actuator and the turbo...the gate itself opens becuz i made sure the lever itself moves and the gate isnt rusted stuck...wonder if it could be the actuator itself?...any ideas? thx....

check the wastegate valve seat and the valve on the turbo it might be bad.
