what are normal boost pressures?

installed my autometer gauges today and took it for a drive. i could only get 19psi of boost out of it. no leaks between the turbo and intake that i can see. it has a hyperteck power adder in the truck i dont know if those increase boost or not. and at wot the egts hit 1100 for a short burst until i let off, im hopeing thats normal.
