put the boost controller as close to the wastegate as possible, with little vacuum line run as possible.

Theres always the obvious.(no offense) Check the IC plumbing for leaks, check the wastegate for cracks, and make sure your BOV isnt leaking under boost. It may be just bleeding off enough not to notice, especially with an open wastegate. Good luck
