Default Is my boost gauge working

Hey put a boost guage in my truck in the right place but the gauge only reads like 10lbs when I hammer on it and not much when driving. Truck has hundred plate and star wheel and smoke skrew up is my gauge bad or am I just running low boost. My truck runs pretty good. And how can I turn up boost thanks.

block your wastegate... but make sure you didn't get a crimp in the line from the engine to the gauge.
