Post a screenshot of your EBC settings. There's EBC Activation which I have set to 0.13psi, then Fast Spool is set to 100%, and Wastegate Activation is set to 6psi. I presume you don't have a boost leak pre-turbo, and the wg firering is in place.
For mine it means when it sees a cunt hair of boost (0.13psi) it seals the WG's bottom port (100% closed solenoid) so the valve is closed, then won't start normal PWM until at least 6psi. If your lowest boost is 18psi, you might want to choose 14psi for activation. The farther activation is to target, the softer the TQ hump. IE less of a light-switch for power. The closer it is, the faster you get full boost.
The thing about fast-building boost is sometimes you make more power when it comes on a little slow. If you look at a boost-vs-torque graph, torque will still climb drastically for 200-500rpm after full boost (after the wg opens). Basically this is where less backpressure is better than more boost.
One thing about the china regulators, the kind using teflon for the diaphragms suck at reacting. Watching the one on my flow bench makes it clear they suck.
