What size turbo? You could have boost leaks also boost creep.
 
when it pulls to 20psi and then falls on it's face you're most likely hitting a fuel cut. remove the mbc and run a straight line to the WG and see if it still happens. if it doesn't then it's your MBC.
 
Alright then either your mbc isn't hooked up properly or it's bad. Have you tried adjusting the screw of the mbc?
 
When you say some times it creeps to 20psi what happends if you take the boost controller out? Does it hold constant pressure? (falty wastegate?) How do you have it hooked up? (perhaps backwards) Boost controllers are simple, if you think its junk take it apart and see if anything looks weird. I found this picture form turboxs's web site.
