What are your RPM's. Boost is made by the RPM's. If you are just cruising in OD you will not make much boost until the pedal goes to the floor and the RPM come up.

Boost is a byproduct of back pressure. The harder you are on it and the higher the revs the higher boost number. With the D-1 you are not going to make max boost until you are at the top of your power band.
