Boost leak, screwed up AFC (holding fuel back), screwed up boost gauge. Does it have any power? With only 10psi it should be pretty slow and never really spool up.

if the are electric u should have a little sending unit that hocks up to it some where if it manual its just a ruber hose that runs to a fitting then to the gauge if its electric you need to call the place u got the guage from and tell them what its doing they will send you a new sending unit and if its manual check the hose for holes good conections and if it is kinked or pinched in something i had the same problem with my manual guage and it was getting pinched in between the a support and the guage pod
