Possible Boost Leak?

I have a 07 s/c automatic BSP. Not to long ago I installed a TRD boost gauge. I notice at WOT the gauge goes to 6PSI. I have NEVER seen it hit 7PSI. Think I have an issue? The BPV was upgraded to a Bosch 110. Rest is stock. Thanks in advance.

well, it will only make 7 psi at redline right? so isn't it hard to hold an auto tc at redline? to make full 7 psi boost for very long before it upshifts?

but yeah, there seem to be alot of people with this problem. and alot of them use the trd boost gauge, maybe the gauge is just poorly calibrated?

Thanks for all the quick responses. I was worried that A line was not reconnected snuggly or I missed something. I always doubt myself when I work on my car. Not a good thing I know..
