Default HELP!!! BOOST PROBLEMS!!!!

okay so... i've got an 01 a4 1.8tqms with an APR chip, and now a baileys bv.

However....

before the baileys i had a Blitz BOV which caused my boost to vent. NOW the question i need answered is how many psi does everyone else see with their APR chip? i only hit 14 psi AT MAX!!!! i used to spike at 18-20 psi. now the boost will barely hold at 12-13 psi, even with the baileys bv. what's wrong?????
