have you adjusted your boost elbow?

is your wire tapped well? sometimes the supplied connector doesnt work too well.

if youre concerned about a boost leak, pressurize the system and try to find the leak.

what kind of elevation are you at? when i used to live at 5200' i had a hard time getting the same boost others were seeing 'down below'.

every truck is a little different...if you dont have boost leaks, youve played around with the boost elbow, your wire is tapped well, and your EGTs are in check then dont worry about it.
