[Wien] some questions about LDA+U caculation of anatase

Dear Wien users:
Recently I had done some caculation about anatase TiO2 using LDA+U method. I followed Anisimov's way that add a 6eV potential
to Ti 3d orbit. But I could not get the correct result like his caculation which have a 3.2eV bandgap, while I have only 2.8eV.
Since he is using the LCAO basis, I wondered whether his U=6eV is suitable for out LAPW basises? Major input file is listed below.And at the same time I want to know whether the two Ti atoms in struct file which all have the same atom index have been added with the orb potential?
Please give me some suggestions on how i can get a more desirable result like a 3.2 eV bandgap?

PS: my SCF is ran under -ec 0.00005. Is the covergence too large?
