Is it making power? Sounds like the surge valve is open or a hose is off and you're not making boost. Those numbers are indicative of a naturally aspirated car.

You have a tube off. Your blowing your boost out somewhere. Get used to this.. I dealt with it for years. Make it a point to have a scew driver and the small socket drive and plenty of hose clmaps to carry with you everywhere.

If you have a Vacume/boost gauge that is normal. You car will be in a state of vacume untill you are in the throttle. Then you will make boost. If your gauge only shows ambient (0 boost) there might be a problem with the charger.

Since the ATI is a centrifugal blower, you will only see max boost near redline. You likely won't see much boost below 3000 rpms.
