Default b7 a4 psi problem

i bought the car with the garrote psi gauge, I dont know if this tells anything but anyways. when i drive,the turbo gets up to 16 psi only 0-3 rpm then after 3000 rpm my boost goes down to 5 psi and stays like that, unless i go back to under 3 rpm. DAES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT IS?
(ILL TRY TO POST A VIDEO SO IT MAKE MORE VISUAL SENCE)

Right, you don't want to run an intercooler or piping thats too large for the turbo, you will lose PSI. The turbo on a powerstroke diesel is freaking massive so the intercooler has to be........large.
They sell kits like this one http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant...egory_Code=AB7
which will work up to 400 horsepower. You still might lose a PSI or two using that core on a stock turbo.
