Exclamation CA local help please!

I have a 06 ss/sc and I need help with my boost pressure. I bought m car used and is running fully stock. My boost gauge is only reading at 2.5psi wtf? I hear its suppose to read 12-15 depending on humidity or sumthing.my gauge was always reading at 2.5psi when I bought my car, but I had a problem with the gauge becuase it died out. After dying out I had my factory warranty replace my gauge, but even with a fresh new one it only read 2.5 psi. Any help or information?

might have to pull apart the SC. see if the waste gate is opening Properly

Check ur filter and see if it is badly clogged.

Factory warranty is no good now. I guess imma try to take her apart, now I have a project to run. Imma try to see if its the wastegate if not that I'm forsure also going to see the airbox. Times call for stage 2 and a new CAI, if only I had a few dollars on hand.
