Where are you taking boost reading from?
Do you have EGT guage?
Have you played with the pump?
As an example , I am currently running 24 Psi, with a deeper IC, plus pin , ring and hybrid turbo and tweaked pump. The difference between turbo pipe reading and the manifold is at max only 1 ~ 1.5PSi.
I turned my boost pressure down from 28 Psi as it was of no real benefit.
**clarification : this is a 300tdi**
