low boost on a 98.5??

I hooked up the juice/attitude the other day, and noticed that my boost on the stock setting is only ay 16psi@ WOT.
The plumbing looks alright and the truck seems to run well.
What else can I check?

How are your EGT's? Low boost, high EGT's usually indicated a boost leak. Have you checked your wastegate? If it sticks open a bit, it won't build the boost. Other thoughts would be intercooler boots, or maybe a leak at the grid heaters.
