I can't really speak for the Major Sarcasm chip, but they have sold a few and the guy 'Dave' from the Isle Of Wight, that supplies Major Sarcasm (which is just a scoobynet users name) him does know his stuff.

The boost control on the Pre96 cars is quite good and robust and from the sounds of it is more a boost spike issue then a target issue.
It may have too much boost duty but it may be that your actuator is slightly too tight.

The restrictor pill is there to prevent boost spikes, and if it's still there then that's not the problem.
I would check the actuator pre-tension as a previous owner may of put a few extra turns on it to get it to hold a little more boost.
