Do you have the bolt screwed all the way into your mbc? To run closed wastegate, you must have a spring that's strong enough and have the bolt tightened down all the way.
Maybe the spring in whatever mbc you have is too short or not tense enough, or maybe you need to tighten the bolt a couple of turns...just increase in full turn increments if you don't have it tightened down all the way. Each turn should be good for an extra 1 or 2 psi, depending on a lot of things.

I'll try that and put it down all the way and see what it does, but when i turn it up as far as it will go it doesn't have any more boost it just stays at 13-14.
