turbo pushing 12-14 psi in upper intake

i hooked up my boost guage finally, and its pushing 12-14 psi in the upper intake manifold... the old gage was hooked up to the intercooler piping and measured 22... so 12 psi isn't so bad, and my motors running great with 3k on it

I think he is saying on his last motor his boost read 22psi for some reason, but on this one with a different tap for the gauge it reads 12psi...still sounds weird, if this is the same gauge you used previously I'd test another one just to be sure it's working the right way
