So when I first started with my edge evo I would see 34 pounds pretty regularly on the gauge. It wouldn't get over 25 so I figured I needed a egr blocker, so I put in the blocker and still nothing over about 27 under WOT. I'm not sure what would cause this anyone have any ideas. Could my egr have cause some soot build up in my turbo or does it need cleaned possibly? I just can't figure it out.

I don't know if that could be it the air filter is a new k&n and the desired and actual rail filter are right there with eachother when I monitor it maybe I'll change the fuel filter just to be safe and clean the air filter and see what happens?

Maybe check the intercooler pipes for holes.

Well I checked the air filter it was good to go the fuel filter I changed and I got back up over 30 pounds seemed to help do the trick not quite where it was but way better. Crazy I only had about 2000 miles on the old filter cut it open and it looked like crap. The fuel they're selling these days is GARBAGE

Does anybody know if this has been a problem? Any areas specifically to check?

I have noticed the exact same thing as the op.
