Default boost seems low???

32-36 PSI MAX depending where i have the boost elbow set
i could spin the stocker up to 50lbs if i wanted to
i can burry the EGT's pretty quick if i want
played with a few fuel plates with the same results

i very much feel like i should be able to produce much higher #'s

any thoughts? i still am running the stock LP and have no gauge. the truck is gutless from 70mph on up but quite responsive down low, plenty of smoke if i want it could this be a low fuel pressure situation?

this turbo is much quieter than the wh1c if that matters, it isnt laggy and i have no boost leaks......

its the super B in my SIG. so it is still a very small turbo. 57mm wheel vrs the stock 56mm very very close. i dont feel like that is the problem? i dont think the gate is doing anything funny. im holding low boost #'s fine. very perplexing?

here the weird thing even with low fuel pressure it still creates high heat if the afc isn't registering the boost so if low boost the rack travel is limited causing it to be low fuel and high egts
