10psi sounds like an awful lot like running on just the WG spring...I would take a look at the EBC. I wonder if its possible something is fried / still not connected 100%.

the wastegate can hold 20+ psi. on one line it doesn't hold anything but on the other it will hold anything you give it. BTW i was driving my car to my gf's house and my clutch pedal stayed to the ground..

there is a preset spring in the wastegate that you can choose when you buy that is the minimum you can boost. Most common is .8 bar but they come in a wide range (all in bar unit). do you know which one you have

well i brought mine used. but i believe its .8bar... the funny thing is it was holding boost fine 2 days ago. Then i leave my in my garage. Fix the grounds and now it wont boost past 10psi

To me it seems you have two options:
1) Significant boost leak
2) Wastegate that is not receiving control from the EBC and is simply running on the spring
I would route the lines in such a way that the wastegate is kept closed at all times and see what happens. If you get no results from that, then you know you have a boost leak.
