Not sure about that but maybe the gauge is slightly off. Can try a cheap mechanical gauge and see what you get. Not unheard of for an electrical boost gauge to be off a psi or 2. I know i am not seeing 8-9psi until 7500 with the 4.25 but you should be seeing that at 7000 with the 4.00
Just go with the regular pro flow bypass valve that they include with their kits with the filter on it. Will reduce that street sweeper sound substantially.
The bypass valve will not close until you are into boost. If you are at 4000 rpm just cruising, the blower is spinning and the air has to go somewhere. Once you get into boost the valve closes.
It looks like you have the pro flow bullet valve "open" which is louder than the standard one. The standard one that come with the kits is the regular pro flow valve with an air filter on it.

I went for the mechanical boost gauge. Comes with very thin tubing as you can see in my previous pics. Was going to change it to better tubing at some point but it works perfectly.
