Ford checked it over and said they couldnt find anything. But its goin back in tomorrow and there doin a more extensive look at things. Like the engine revs up and everything like shes gonna move but it doesnt. Nothin

There are a few possiblilities...

there are a chance the Y pipes are leaking..but that rarely causes a boost level that low....

Your fuel filters could be plugged, or the pump bad...but that also usually results in a boost level that peaks at about 12-16 PSI....so i doubt that too...

the most likely causes are either a very badly sticking turbo, or a leak in the CAC system, which most commonly would be at the blue boot that attatches to the turbo, or a popped intercooler.....
