Where are the hoses hooked up to the valve? The inlet (hose from the vac tree) should go in to the bottom of the valve, and the outlet (to the WGA) should come out of the side port on the valve.

Even the best parts manufacturers out there send out bad parts occasionally. It's possible you might have got the one defective part out many.
I'm not sure how the gillis valve is made, but you may be able to trouble shoot it to see if it is defective.

Are all the hoses clear, unclogged, and unkinked?
If they are, then I would take the valve apart to carefully remove the ball & spring, then reconnect the lines and see if it overboosts- obviously it shouldn't.
If it doesn't, then you know that either the ball is sticking, or the spring it too strong.

What if the diaphragm in the wastegate actuator is leaking? It may work with enough signal reference, but the Gillis valve may not alow enough air to let the wastegate open.
