You are about normal with no tuner. After you get the DP you will push more boost. Turbo don't like more than 25#, I can make 30+ boost.

FWIW, stored codes don't mean much, unless you know when it was set. Clear it, run it and see if it comes back. If not, then no worries, if it does then we can start looking.
