Alright, So i just installed my ported big 16g with the 34mm flapper... I have the boost controller set to about 14psi cause im on stock fuel system, but it seems like when I shift the wastegate is sticking open for a second or two then closing. Im running an o2 dump with a 2.5 downpipe and 3in catback. I am using a turbo XS HP boost controllerCould this be because of how my Boost controller is adjusted?

Thats the thing, My boost takes a little bit to get back up, its like its lagging for a second after I shift.
 
My vote is on an old and worn out wastegate actuator (Assuming your B16g didnt come with a new one) The spring inside may be weakened and isnt able to close that big 34mm flapper door shut when you get off boost.
