Stock boost is anywhere between 6-8psi, but have been known to spike to 10psi and back to 7psi on many motors.

Mine boosts up to 10 pounds, but then levels off to almost 6 pounds in the top end.

Condition of the turbo, engine and wastegate actuator as well as carbon makes boost #s vary from engine to engine.

do you have exhaust and intake? On my buddies gs-t, he went from 7 to 14 psi just by adding 3 inch...3 inch does wonder for boost creep.
