Thumbs down My new tune wont hit 23psi

I just got a 23psi Trifecta tune but im only hitting 20psi max. I told Vince and he said it might be a limitation of my car and will look at it. Whats different about my car that I can only go 20psi while other people are going 23 and higher?
I hope he can fix it.

Psi shouldn't matter, its the power you feel. My car spikes 22 psi and holds about 19.5 and pulls the same as a 23 psi Trifecta car. Also keep in mind the weather conditions affect it and also you could have a boost leak.

Being in NY, I don't think your location should matter

I would rather boost 20 than 23 and higher. Any boost holding more than 22 and you're asking for trouble. Others will chime in and beg to differ. I stand by what I said.

I'm enjoying the 20psi tune but I just want to see the 23psi number on my RPD since it's what I wanted..

Is anyone else not hitting not capable of hitting 23 or am I the only one?

It may be a matter with the wastegate rod on the turbo. If the locknut came loose, the linkage tends to make itself longer, reducing boost.

A boost leak at a coupler or cracked intercooler is another possible cause.
