Default Low boost pressure?

im only able to build 8psi of boost. One time I got 11psi but that still seems low. What might cause this? Do I need to rebuild the turbo? New compressor wheel?


Autometer boost gauge, TS 6position chip, S&B cold air intake, 3inch MBRP downpipe, 3.5inch straight pipe.

Clogged air filter. Ive heard that can due it. Mine when it was stock would push around 15lbs. Round 30lbs now.

Have you tested for a boost leak?
