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.

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

I put a boost gauge in on Saturday and it's reading 1,3 bar on peak and tails off to about 1,1 on a stage 1 rtech
