Default only 13psi?

about a week ago i put a boost controller and gauge in my '95 GSX. I turned it all the way up and the highest amount of boost i can get is 13psi. I was trying to get 15psi. Any ideas of why this is happening?

Yeah im gonna guess, either its broken, or you are turning it the wrong way. If you turned it all the way up, you should be getting some serious fuel cut.

the factory pressure release valve tends to leak above 14lbs.

make sure that you have it hooked up right also. One hose should go to the wastegate and the other to the turbo. If not hooked up correctly and in the right direction it will cause it to not work correctly. Your stock bov can leak but it should cause it to only run 13 psi.
