you should be hitting 12 by now.

You know that youll only hit 10 when you first punch it, and then it will build as you shift and get to the redline in 2nd and 3rd gear right?

in order to see 12PSI you usually need to be pretty high in the revs and by that time you're usually way over the speed limit.

boost is limited in 1st gear.

check your boost at the top of 2nd gear. 3rd would be even better...but youd be speeding at that point

Boost will peak in 2nd and 3rd gear usually around 6200 RPM and does so easily with CAI or airbox mod. Mine took about 5,000 kms to get there (83kPa).
