Default turbo overboostin

so ive noticed my turbo has been going up to like 20lbs.... and its a year old (ko3) 99 b5 1.8t.. 5spd and obviously it sputters when it does this because of the fuel cut off at a certain amount of boost i can even floor the car or it will wanna act like its gunna die any suggestions on what to check for? i had one of those cheap adjustable boost controllers and took it off bought new vacum lines and its still the same... does anyone have a scamatic of where the lines go to from the intake to the turbo? jus makin sure everything is right.

Do you still have the n75 in place from when you added the boost controller?

Yeah the boost controller i have is linked up right , im thinking its the actuator.... In the turbo pulled the n75 was pretty dirty (not clogged) so im sure its one or the other.
