I finally got my hands on a boost gauge and did some measuring. My base boost seems to be set at about 6psi, which according Bill J's table is correct.
I was also watching the boost during acceleration once the car is warmed up. The highest I ever see is 10 to 11psi, but that is only a momentary peak when you open the throttle quickly. It almost immediately falls back to about 8 psi. If you open the throttle gradually, boost doesn't go above about 8psi (i.e. you don't get the initial spike). This is even with your foot to the floor in fourth.
Occasionally the boost holds a bit higher, at maybe 9 or 10, but this seems rare.
This doesn't seem right to me.. What should peak boost be on this car?
