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.

Have you tested for a boost leak?
