Hello,
Your could try and take some pre load of the actuator arm/nut.
This is what I had to do with my old AUQ Golf.

The actuator rod is what opens and closes the wastegate. Follow the hose from the N75 to the turbo area, this connects to the actuator. From this is a rod which goes to the wastegate on the turbo; there are two nuts on this rod which can be adjusted to alter the amount the actuator needs to act in order to open the wastegate. "Wild Willy" knows a lot about this area so may be worth a PM. Good luck 
but because this is intermittant shall we say.. for eg sometimes i floor it, 100% flat to the floor it spikes 22psi ish and tales off fine but other times it may hit the 30 then back off. If this is adjusted could it not effet the overall boost when it's not playing up i.e limiting it
it has been "flashed" on a couple of occasions, i was under the impression the is one in the same thing but please correct me if i'm wrong
dont forget to wait for the beep else it wont work, it doesnt always beep though you just have to wait for the fuel pump to to whirring
cheers
cheers
mine always done it, but it doesn't do it everytime i accelerate hard, probably 1 in 4 ish
Update: New Map
well i went back to P-Torque today and Will checked it, he spent a good hour or so on it and didn't charge which i thought was very good of him, after all it wasn't him that has caused the issue and he was more than happy to help
.
Anyway, i'm not very techically minded but from what i can remember he has basically changed the map, he has advised that it isn't as agressive when accelerating but i should notice it more top end which i have already. He has also done some custom bits too i think, i know he mentioned adjusting fueling slightly, duty cycle ( i maybe wrong here but i' sure he said he had tweeked it) etc but it appears at the minute to be better. So far it's been spiking at 23 and tailing of to 18ish. It does feel a smoother and nicer map tbh.
He has now said to try it out for a few days and let the car adapt again, hopefully it maybe ok but if not we have both agreed after the stuff done already , the next thing to be changed will be the actuator.

personally, i'm not sure as i've just ordered a new one in case. Can't be faffed messing with the orginally
seems to have rectified now, it does boost quite high still for a stage 1 i.e 24 then tails off which is similar to a mate with stage 2 APR but it's better than 29/30 . thanks anyway pal

I had this fault for about 3 weeks and after changing the N75 and MAF sensor checking all the vacuum pipes it turned out it was my actuator wasn't holding pressure. sucked on the pipe going to the actuator and it didn't go solid (like sucking a straw with your finger blocking the other hole) so I replaced the actuator which made it allot better since ive had to adjust the length of the actuator bar to get it boosting correctly hope this helps was doing my head in for ages.
