At WOT with a load on the engine, for example pulling a steep hill, mine would do 18psi when stock. Then, with a chip added, I could do 24psi. Now that I've got propane, I can hit 30psi.
14 doesn't sound especially low. Were you in 3rd gear? Try to find a fairly steep hill, and wind 'er out going up that. You'll likely see your maximum boost as you approach redline.

i would check your turbin blades to check and see if they are rounded off. Also, you might check the air filter.

I've hit 16 but I ran out of hill to load it with. It is way too much trouble to see what it will get with my 5th wheel for now. I sent my Bully Dog back to be programmed this morning.
