Diesel Wanna Be

Just got my boost gauge installed, and always thought the truck was sort of a dog.
I've read that normal boost is between 22-25 PSI.
Mine, for whatever reason, is only making 15 PSI, then when it shifts, it drops down to 10 PSI until the RPM's come back up.
It's got all fresh filters (1k miles on fuel filter), new oil, new trans fluid/filters, new anti-freeze.
Still has the cat, but it doesn't have that sulfuric smell like when a cat goes bad, nor does the cat rattle like the junk is broke loose in it.
When you hammer it, no smoke at all.
Thoughts?
