How Much Boost?

While towing my 5ver which weighs around 10,000 lbs I can only build around 15 pounds of boost around 2000 rpm in 6th gear. I can easily build ~21-23 psi in 3rd, 4th and 5th gears at the same rpm. This is causing my EGT's to easily surpass 1250 deg. Is this normal? or should I be having the wastegate/turbo looked at?

Thanks
