Yeah man elevation has a lot to do with it. I have heard of many other people with the same issue. Also remember you will only see 12psi in the high rpm range like 5,500 rpms and up. Again though elevation and temps have a lot to do with it.

alot of these cars dont boost to 12 until you have them broken in a bit.
thats pretty common.


Also, you dont instantly get 12 pounds....you get about 10 instant....and the last 2 lbs will build as you pull through the gears.

Boost

I live in nebraska so elevation shouldnt be a problem and it does it at all temps. I only get 8 pounds at the higher rpms. It has just over 6K on it and seemed to be faster at 3k when i bought it.
