Default For those of you with boost gauge

How much stock boost do you get ? I never got more then 10 PSI, more like 9.5 max. What readings do you get? (I have VDO vision mechanical gauge)

Default 9-10psi with a vdo mechanical gauge.

That's about what everyone should see stock.
<font color="white">But honestly, who would get a boost gauge to use it with their stock chip? :P</font>

Default That's normal for stock.

I have the VDO as well and have never seen more than 9 or 10psi.

Default ...

If you ignore the spikes, you can see that stock pressure peaks on average in the 9-10psi range.
