Boost controller help

I have a pwerks turbo kit on my car and a turbo xs boost controller. Now no matter how much i turn it up the boost wont go up at all. The wastegate spring is a 14 im pretty sure when i turn the wastegate all the way down its at 14lbs. I turn it up to the point where it wont turn anymore. What could the problem be

Well found the problem the coupler from my charge pipe to turbo some how ended up resting on the manifold and it melted a hole through it. So now i gotta turn the turbo back a little buy a new coupler then heat wrap that
