You probably have a boost leak. Check all your connections for loose fittings or cracked hoses.

what size is your exhaust pipe size and your down pipe , before i got my 2 1/2 exhaust pipe done i was using the factory pipe and i could not boost any more than 5 psi , now i have 3 in down pipe and a 2 1/2 exhaust pipe all the way back ,i also got rid of all the cats and pre mufflers , i run two high flow cats at 3" in and out also i ran the exhaust under the axle not over it the less bend the more flow ,better boost . i am boosting at 7psi every day and when i want to really run her hard i take it to 10psi for know i hope this helps you out with your 3sgte i know it helped me with my 7afte

kool thanx man but i have a 3" exhaust all the way back ... but i think it has something to with a tapping noise i am hearing the number 4 cylinder area

i doubt that the exhaust size is the problem. you probably either have a boostleak or there is something wrong with your wastegate.

Check engine light on ?

if its not boosting to 10psi then I would put money on tvsv... did you recently do the swap or try to add a boost controller?

I say boost leak FTW. If not, then like he said...TVSV!
