I recently ran too much boost and my engine died at max boost. I started the car back up again with no problem but the check engine light came on. The check engine light went off afer a few miles. I got home and took my manual boost controler off the car. Now the car is only giving me about 9 PSI max boost when stock is 14 or so. I have tried to reset the computer a few times but I am still getting the same result. Is this a wastegate problem or did I brake something more difficult to fix?

I changed the direction of the hoses and I am still having the same result. I also had replaced a hose (due to cracking) and put one on that was longer. So I shortened it a bit but I am still having the same result. Only about half of the PSI output.
