You'll notice your 5.5 psi occurs quite a bit before redline, and as you know, your boost continues to climb as you rev higher. The boost is there; you just don't have the equipment to read it.

If you go somewhere where ambient pressure is lower, you will see a higher boost reading.

*dont* change your MAP sensor; you'll need a custom tune if you do so.
