I need a place to start looking for more boost..help a brother out

So I bought the AP and installed the stage 2. I am peaking at 15 lbs of boost according to the AP. I should be getting 24lbs. What am I doing wrong? I thought the AP would adjust my boost through the ecu. All the research I did most people are peaking at 24-26 lbs. I guess Im just an idiot...can someone please educate me on this.

What mods do you have done, do you have all the required mods? Boost pill removed? Could possibly be a boost leak.

What's your complete mod list? Checking for a boost leak would be a great place to start. Some fluctuation and variance is normal, but not 10psig worth.

My mods are as follows: Greddy sp elite cat-back, ets test pipe, ets 4" fmic, k&n typhoon. I did remove the pill and no change. I am going to log with the AP and post numbers.

Perform a boost leak test and ensure you hooked but your BCS vacuum lines correctly.

Go back and double check your inter-cooler lines and your intake to make sure everything is snug. I installed my ETS intake and had a boost leak because i THOUGHT it was snug, but it wasn't quite.

Im going to run through the system tomorrow to make sure all is good. I did some data logs, and the numbers look a little better. Here they are if anyone wants to give me thier input. This is 2nd gear I was supposed to run it in third. Brian from cobb is looking at them now.

What gear are you "peaking" at? 4th in a full WOT is where you should be hitting 26psi.
