5-6 psi is normal with a greddy kit... just get a boost controller and put it to 9psi and retune..

Its a common thing with the greddy kit, you are not the only one.

thats true. My boost gauge reads 6psi all the time, but im not complaining, it got me 240whp.

Like Zero said, just get a boost controller, bump up the boost and retune..oh yea and get a full exhaust too..thats what im doing when i get back from vacation in january
