Boost numbers

What is everyone getting for cruising around town? I just installed my gauge and took a short drive and it looks like I'm getting around 5 psi does that sound about right?

Stock turbo at 70mph with 3.73 gears, you should be right around 2000 RPM, 4-5psi, and 600ish EGTs. Yours might be a bit higher because of the tires.

Thanks guys....I went for a longer drive and at 50-55 I'm pushing 1 to 2 psi. When I took it out on the first run and the gauge was saying 1 to 2 and I people posting 15 and 20's I was a little worried. Thanks Mike...It wasn't bad at all. I still need to drill the hole in the exhaust for the egt. I will try to post some pic's tomorrow.
