Default Boost problem...plese help

The car (225) has not been pulling as hard as it use to so I got my boost gauge installed today to get an idea of what boost is like. It turns out my boost is peaking at 12 psi. I thought from what I've read here that 18-20 is more the norm. The only mod I've done is the Forge DV 007.

Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks

Default Should be around 20psi

It could be a problem with the valve in th DV. Its maybe not closing right. Did you instal the DV? Are all the connections definately secured 100%. I know it sounds stupid but it happens.

Also - Does the car feel any different. Could be that its always run lower thus you may have turbo problems ect.

Default DV might be sticking....>>

and bleeding a bit of boost. Gauge might be innacurate. Unchipped you should be 15-16 PSI, Chipped 18-20

Default where did they tap the Boost Gauge? Above DV? FPR? I think that can have a effect.>>

Correct me if I am wrong
