Looking at some of the posts that you guys are getting like 14psi of boosts, i am wondering why i am only getting 11psi @ 7000rpm.
Even before the mods to the engine i have only seen 12psi max.
I have the following:
50mm TB
GT Inlet
FMIC
Full Blend
toothies (65mm pully)
Should i be getting more than the 11 boosts?

depends on a number of things,
health of the charger,
flow into the engine.
the gt inlet and bih throttle will tame it a bit... and accuracy of different boost gauges has some effect

Don't get too worked up about the boost figure, its all about flow rate at a given pressure, if you have all mods listed and a healthy block giving you plently of suck then the pressure is not building as much in the manifold(where your gauge reads it from) and is gettig into the engine faster. Don't forget you also have a geater volume to fill with charged air, so you may feel its lost some of the initail torque that the standard G40 setup gives.
