MPH and boost numbers???

today on my way to work i was really seeing how good my new lift pump was working (still need the fuel pressure gauge) but it seemed to be working good. i was noticing that cruising at about 45 mph i was holding at 2psi of boost. at around 50 mph i was around 1 1/2 lbs of boost. it seemed low to me but i wasnt sure, what do yall think????

sorry for the dumb questions i dont know any better

Mine runs 4 - 6 psi with a 14mm wastegated housing @ 75mph.
Climbs fast with throttle application at anything above 45 mph tho.

Flat land and 60-80mph for me is around 2-5psi. Your #'s sound about right. Try changing the aircleaner. I noticed more boost after I put a fresh stock one in. I have been noticing my boost seems low so i may try it again since I have one on the shelf.

It sounds normal for a truck with a big housing.
