Default Boost Issues - Wastegate? Boost Control?

I've been having issues with boost levels/getting boost. Sometimes my boost will curve normally, while at other times it won't kick in at all, or it will suddenly come full force around 3500-4k RPMs and really kick u back in the seat. Is this a wastegate or boost control/reg issue? I have a CAI and Forge DV valve which I've been tinkering with around 5-7 clicks. Could either of these somehow be causing the problem? Also, I've been thinking about getting the Fogre MBC anyway, could this fix the possibly problem?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

That one will replace the stock one and give you only another 2-3psi and is not compatable with all chips. You could have a bad n75 or a bad wastegate. You can try a new n75 or mbc to cure the problem. If it still occures, you need to tighten or maybe even replace the wastegate

To clear up any confusion, I initially posted I was goind to get an N75. I then searched I realized they weren't worth it, so changed my original post to the Forge MBC. Sorry for any confusion, and thanks Cincy!

Just avoid the 3 point mbc that ecs sells. The unos is a better mbc if you want a forge.
