ok, thanks for the tip. I will hopefully be getting Autotech HPFP internals and a DP soon

it literally hits 10 and will just stay there all the way to redline. I have always tested it in 3rd or 4th gear as well.

yea the car still pulls pretty hard, just thought 10 was a little low like i mentioned above. But if thats completely normal for this altitude, thats just something ill have to live with until i can get a AP and DP.

ok yea i will probably do the hpfp to start with, then get the downpipe a little later.

Ok as long as everything is okay that's fine with me. I appreciate the info thanks again

Yea and I don't mind doing that I just thought 15 was stock

So 10 lbs is ok for stock in Colorado? I wouldn't think the altitude drop it 5 lbs...

Mazdaspeed Cai and that's it

just like the title says I'm only making 10 lbs of boost. I read online that it should be around 15 stock. I know my boost gauge is fine because it works fine on my turbo Civic and I checked the line and its not crimped. I'm new to this whole Mazda thing and its just got me baffled. Any ideas? TIA, ...

and thanks all for the welcome!

Also welcome.

yea it has a mazdaspeed cold air intake and a catback exhaust on it already oh and its lowered too
But yea, chances are ill pick up the test pipe from andy

Brian, I have a test pipe if you don't have one. When you get the speed back let me know if your exhaust is turbo back or not and I can just bring it to work and we can work out a deal. im pretty sure its just cat back. You dont happen to have an a/c compressor do you? I cant get the car fixed i gu...
