Very weird thread, I don't get how you think its making more or less boost than what it says. I think I'd try to take off the boost line, use a compressor with a regulator, blow air into said line and see if it reads the same as what the regulator is set at. I don't know if that'd actually work but I think it could be close?

It all depends on mods and/or condition of engine. Once again.. what is the boost gauge reading when the car is off?
