Boost Question

I tried a search on this but I got a lot of different answers. I am looking to see what's the average boost range for the PSD. I've got an AEM air intake and a 4" turbo back to 6" stacks and run an Edge chip. I am seeing a max boost of 10 psi. Now this is off of the Edge monitor gauges, so I don't know how it compares to a typical gauge kit. I know there are alot of variables at play, but the search turned up some saying this was average and some talking about the 20's. I did figure out a boost leak test is probably a good start, but anyone else have any input?

Thanks

Unless you drive like the little blue haired lady I get stuck behind every day 10psi is low. Start by checking all 6 of the rubber boots on the IC pipes and bottom of the intake spider.

mechanical gauge would be a good option, unless you dont like gauges, but like Alan said , check for a boost leak,
