Default Boost not reading right??

Hey guys new to the site. Have ?? About boost psi? I have a 06 ctd with a CAI and bully dog power pup. My boOst readings is coming from a edge insight monitor. It reads 23.67 at WOT. Sometimes 23.96 max. And that's it. Is this correct? I thought I should see at least 32psi. Any help please!

Do you have a boost fooler? Get a real gauge Mechanical to read off the intake!

probably not reads the same signal the other one reads! a real gauge will tell the truth! and if it is that low there's a problem with the turbo! Did you check for boost leaks? Any black smoke on hard take off?

Pull off the turbo air inlet hose and check the turbo. Then build a plug for the hole with a air connect use a regulator to pressurize system to 20 psi and you should hear a leak if not soap everything up look for bubbles! All parts available at Home Depot! I use an expandable plumbers plug!
