So I just took it back home and drove it for the first time in awhile. But now I noticed that I have a bunch of throttle lag and the car just feels less responsive and slower altogether. But still much better than before when I was getting no boost.
I feel that the car can't hold boost as well as before... Could this be due to a waste gate problem still?? Or is it something else? I'll probably drive it around for a week and bring it back in the next. The thing is that no CEL came up so I have no proof to show the dealership except my intuition.

Do you have a tune? If you do and assuming that you uninstalled it prior to taking it to the dealership, you need to give it time to adapt.
