If I remember right the stock turbo is capable of 12-14 psi. If you haven't done the IPD waste-gate arm adjustment deal to your waste-gate it opens way prematurely and allows most of the boost to escape. Go search the IPD site for proper adjustment technique using a pressure gauge to adjust the arm. Adjust it so the waste-gate stays closed to 8-9 psi so you'll actually get the full advantage of having a turbo in the first place. Good luck.
