Maybe you have a bad gauge?

Check for charge piping leaks, vacuum (boost) leaks at the intake manifold, and the bypass valve.. I've had some of the bosch units leak on me...
Grab another gauge to verify the boost level.
Is there any evidence of excessive belt slippage? (black rubber dust around the blower)
