CS models have the boost mechanically limited (5 psi, I think?) by plumbing from the boost side of the turbo to the wastegate. And, CS's don't have the gauge... so you have both a less-powerful turbo and no information on what it's doing.
Check that the intake hoses are all intact and securely clamped.
You can hook up a vacuum/boost gauge - permanently or temporarily - and see what's really going on - but an unmodified CS will never make up the 25 to 50 hp the CSE or Aero models can make with their turbo setup.
When you're motor is cold - you can pop the intake side hose off of the turbo and see how it spins, and check that the waste gate isn't frozen.
