Drop of presure

Well...I have a totally stock g... When i placed a boost gauge i had 0.4@3500-4500 and 0.65@6000rpm...
After i sprayed ptfe at the charger (i spayed more than i have to) it was showing 0.5-0.55@6000rpm...
I have NO boost leak ( i triple checked al my boost hoses...
How can i solve the probem?

is you boost gauge a good quality one

and check that the hose you tapped vacume from isnt leaking and the hose to your gauge isnt leaking

Are these readings taken on the road or standing still ? Try a reading at over 5000rpm in third gear; you should see about 0.7bar from a stock charger in good nick.

These readings are taken while i was on road...
My problem is that my boost was ok before spraying ptfe... After i sprayed ptfe i had less boost presure...
I sprayed 2-3 bursts more than i had to...
Also the hose that is from the down side before CO pontetiometer is on position and it's not cutted...
