My boost is set at 9 psi with a 6% duty cycle at my boost controller. During WOT I'm seeing it hold 9 psi it seems however my boost controller often records a peak of 12.9 psi. Is this normal or could this also be my problem possibly?

I wouldn't worry too much about boost spikes if you hold 9psi......
My problem was wastegate location and Pinched seal. I overboosted to 28psi
