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,
Bryan

I didn't have an AP before I knew how much I was pushing but 10 seems pretty low. I really need to come check that thing out soon

COMPLETELY normal up here... sadly. You might hit spikes of a little more, but it will taper off to 10ish. Drive to sea level and then you will be pissed at how much quicker the car is lol.
