Loss of power ( TD 42 )

Ok guys i'm new to this site and have found it great for a lot of info.
My problem is that I have a td42 which I've put an aftermarket turbo on (DRS450) which i was told was a good size but a mate of mine has the same truck but non turbo-ed and he can pull away from me as if im standing still. I have't got a I/C ,but am running a 3'' air intake and 2 1/2" out. Boost is ment to get to 14psi but only getting 9psi @ 3000rpm and thats it. Could this be due to not getting enough air or what ???
I hope this makes sense, was going to turn up the pump but thought I'd post this first.

Thanks Starfish (Patrick) :?

It may be getting enough air, but has it got the fuel to match?

Yea was thinking that aswell. Am buying a pyro gauge for it and will wind it up a bit.
