Default boosting problems

ok i have a drag gen 3 kit on my 97 ex with a turbonectics deltagate mark 2 wastegate.. i was boosting 4 psi when i first installed the kit. my friend ran my vaccum to my wastegate different and i boosted 8psi for all of 30 mintues. i got off the interstate and i tried to pull out in front of traffic and my car wouldnt boost above 3 psi. you know the noise that a external wastegate makes when it opens, well mine doesnt make ANY noise. i checked all the vaccum lines and my intercooler piping. i was told that my wastegate prolly took a shit. i already ordered a new one. i just wanna make sure that it is the wastegate before i waste my time to change it and it not fix the problem. any suggestion's on why im not boosting above 3 psi???
