turbo question

I set my Scanguage for boost and noticed my turbo only kicks out 22 psi. Shouldnt it be higher than this? How is that regulated?

there isnt a wastegate. but there are vanes that will act as a waste gate. it dumps the boost bakc in the intake when you let off when its charged. but anyways, are you running any tuners, what year is ur truck, what gauges do u have, do you have stock exhaust, and stock intake???

06 F350 I have stock exhaust and intake. I am using one of Matts gearhead tow tunes. I just have the Scanguage. Everything is pretty much stock...
