I don't remember what the wastegate is set to, maybe your boost gauge is off. Anyways if you want to turn up the boost a MBC is your best bet. You may have lost a psi or so through the intercooler. Has anyone ever actually measured the drop? I'm gonna do that eventually.

I don't know about the hahn kit, but with my star I have a 7psi spring in my tial wg and I see 6psi. I'd say its just the drop from the intercooler, like BlackMagic said, the easiest way is to get a MBC, just don't go crazy with it or you'll be rebuilding sooner than you want to.

This wouldn't happen unless if your boost was creeping up to 6psi, so you would probably see about 4psi and then it would creep up to 6 as you continued accelerating.
As someone above said, with the 9psi spring the most they saw was 7psi Here's an idea too, if you haven't done so already, do a boost leak test. If you don't have a boost leak tester, and don't want to make one, then at least double check all your couplers and tighten them down again.
