try pushing
the AFC housing forward, and the starwheel full forward as well. The more fuel you put into the engine the more boost tyou are going to get. You might also want to replace your fuel plate as well, Im not certain if you can push a stock plate to 30 PSI and if that dont work. You might wanna try blocking the waste gate, if a bare minimum, you might get quicker boost.

Tightening the Boost Elbow blocks flow to wastegate, reducing it's ability to open. Block it off completely...see what happens.
If no increase, possible boost leaks. Boot clamps are not the only source of leaks. Pin holes and cuts can be invisible when system is not pressurerized but open up when boots expand.

once you have adjusted the boost elbow, you may want to put a dab of RTV on the screw. I have heard that they can get loose and fall out. No personal experience, but rumor has it...
