your T3 didnt work right if it only made 15 psi.. it should make 30 psi easy.. and be pretty laggy, but not horrible..

What kind of driving do you do?

Spirited? redline? foot to the floor?

The usual reasons would be:

(a) boost leak
(b) pump not delivering enough fuel to create enough exhaust heat
