I'm still stock except for the EGR block off.

Something seems out of whack with your readings. Are you using the MAF based boost approach? If so it uses the MAF readings and what you enter for the vehicles engine size, volumetric efficiency, etc. for calculating a boost number. Using the correct engine size and VE should help you get the boost numbers to line up fairly well (it's still off some, but it's within a couple psi of the gauge through most of the operating range when I compare things). To do this you need to edit the vehicle profile.
And at least on the version of Torque I'm using "boost pressure" is reporting "gauge pressure", so it's not including the normal ~14.7 psi from atmosphere.
Hope that helps. 50psi would be deeply sub optimum if it's real.
