Default loosing boost and power at 4200rps.. any ideas??

so i finally get my ebay "ptk" turbo kit installed and when getting it dyno tuned at about 4200rpm i started loosing boost hp and torque, i was told it could be my turbo was to small for my motor. im running a t61 with a .68 ar hotside, (which is the cheap Chinese one that came with the kit) and a knock of tial wastegate. i was thinking that maybe it was because of the knock off brand turbo and waste gate and was thinking, maybe if i replaced them both with good name brands and got a mp t70 with a 96 ar i would hold a steady boost all the way up to redline, just wanted to run it by everyone and get there suggestions thanks!

i would not risk my motor with that Chinese ****. master power turbos are the cheapest you can get away with.

and that turbo seems a little small, defiantly upgrade to a good brand.
