Idle ----> 1 1/2 to 2 lbs
MaX ----> 26/27

my max is near 33 just driving. with a good load on a hill with the water on, the boost can touch on the 40psi mark

I don't show anything until I hit around 1300 - 1400 RPM's and that's with a load on the engine .
Am I missing something ??????

What about the rest of you? I would like to see boost readings at idle with exhaust mods and no mods.

Hmm...thats wierd, I have never seen boost at idle...
For some reason, mine seems to be gaining .2 to .3 lbs peak per day now...and the turbo keeps getting progressively louder. I doubt it will last much longer
No kidding...the turbo noise is getting really, really obnoxious, with no signs of letting off- it has never done this before.
