Have you looked at the wastegate setting?
Try to remove the rod from the wastegate flapper and after losening the locknut turn the end about 2 turns on the rod so that the rod gets shorter. If you get higher boost and lower egt continue shortening the rod in small increments until you get up to what you can live with- but I would not go over 38-39psi of boost on that charger.
(But I would really recommend calling your vendor about that and about how high you can turn up the boost on this charger)
On the other hand with only 12cm² exhaust housing you are on the very small end for this truck.

That is just a small increase over stock hx35, or HY35 for that matter. May make a decent secondary turbo for twins though. I wouldn't be afraid plug the wastegate line and tie the lever shut to see if it gets better, will be limited at higher rpm though.
