My first port of call would be to see if the gauge was right....

A good way to check is to get it on a rolling road near you and get them to measure boost as well as give you power figures (and checking fueling).

This will also serve as a good baseline for any future modifications so wont be money wasted.

I dont know what area you are in but I use Zen performance in Northampton as Paul's dyno set up is very good
