when max boost

At what point should I get max boost in relation to throttle percentage. Right now I get 10#s at 30% throttle and 14#s at 50% and 20#s at 100% does this seem normal. Cruising 65 mph at 24% throttle I see 3#s. All these numbers were off my edge monitor. Also any ideas to pressure test my intake horn or should I just replace gaskets and inspect? I was told that with the edge I should see 30#s of boost but have not seen anyone else on here getting that without a turn buckle?

That brass fitting/ boost elbow comes with with the Juice if you bought it new, if it was used and not included, drill and tap your own and buy one premade for 20 bucks.

throttle percentage has little to do with boost, its load percentage on the motor.

Boost will rise with the engine load, if the wastegate has been adjusted or modified. On my truck when I'm not towing going up certian grades around here, I will only see 20 to 25 lbs of boost. But with my slide-in camper mounted going up the same grades I'll see 30 to 34 lbs of boost.

I have the boost elbow and it was installed when I put the edge on it. From what you guys are saying I can almost be certain that I have a boost leak. Whe I was pulling 5000#s the most boost that I was seeing was 20#s even up hills(edge on #2).I have pressure tested up to the intake horn my leak must be in there.
