So straight away we know there is nothing wrong with the EBCS.
But yeah, still probs a good idea to test the lower springs first.
The only 2 options are as ive said, a faulty wastegate actuator that isnt opening at its advertised pressure. Or something weird like a massive blockage or leak in the intake or exhaust.
Need to properly test the actuator off the car. That way you are getting an acurate test of the actuator alone, without the variable of the car.
I have a mity vac.

I can see myself asking to test the gate using your vac if possible.
I am likely to put the 17psi spring in the gate too as I agree with what you have said in that the ebcs allows you to run above gate pressure and not below it.
