Since my N249 delete and new Gauge it peaks at 20-22, holds 18. It's only a cheap gauge so may not be accurate but I thought 18psi seemed about right.

them figures are what i was thinking my guage may be naffed as iv sorted all leaks with new pipes and replaced all jubilee clips im hitting 20psi and holding from 15to18psi  :undecided:

15psi held is plenty for stage 1

Really high revs it probably is about 15 mate. I know it holds 18 from like 3500-5500 (ish) then it dies off.

Mine is around 15 to 16psi

same mine boosts to that and holds it throughout nearly the whole rev range, no spike.

but the first two gears will only boost to 5psi then 10psi... is that normaL?
