20psi losing power

so i have a trifecta tune and when we sent the logs to vince he said my car should be at 26psi and it spikes at 20 so theres something wrong and he said maybe its where the MAF relocate adaptor was welded on it could be in the wrong direction or something, so time goes by and i finally get a CIA cold pipe with the MAF welded on in the right direction use the extension cable they provided me and bam still 20psi...i dont know wtf to do at this point but for some reason i am losing power and i dont understand why.

Term had his wastegate rod adjustment come loose and lost a lot of boost a while ago. Next time you are under the car, look at the rod from the WG actuator into the turbo, see if the locknut is still intact and tight.

You literally can't miss it its a long metal rod coming off to the passenger side of your turbo if I remember correctly... It has been a bit since I have been under my car.
