Normal boost, low reading

I have a 03 6.0 PSD, it seems to run fine, good power, tows ok (low mpg) when I push the boost up past 20psi, the readings start to go back down but the truck feels like it’s still pulling well.

I’m reading it via Bluetooth scanner and torque pro. I was going to change out the intercooler boots soon since one popped off a while ago.

would it be the boost sensor?

My guess is your waste gate is doing what it is supposed to, bleed off boost at a predetermined pressure to keep from blowing your your junk up
