mkiiisupra...what is this 'divorced wastegate' you list in your mods?

I have the lexus AFM, took off my JC 550cc's because the performance shop who installed my AEM EMS and dyno tuned couldn't get them to work correct. He claims that the stock injectors are more than enough. My problem that he can't figure out for sure is my boost wont hold above 8 PSI. (modified turbo to 47 trim good to about 22 psi if I want to blow up my engine) He suggests a 3" downpipe may do the trick (I have stock still, but a big HKS drager cat-back over 3.5 inch diameter) but I'm not convinced. My feeling is the stock wastegate actuator I am running may be the culprit.
(I'm sure the downpipe and a good intercooler with hardpipes will be a great help but I'm not sure that's the root of this boost cut.)

Dyno'd at 252 hp and 318 lbs torgue at 4000 rpm when the turbo boost drops off, dropping HP and torgue a little before rising up again and leveling off at about 252 HP and 252 torgue around 5k through 6k rpm before slowly declining.

Any ideas?
