Mines at 16PSI, but has only reached that twice.
Normal, slightly aggressive driving, will see it reach up to 12 PSI.

make sure you know which turbo you are running. i rang denco and they put 3 different turbos out, 1 of them is good for higher boost, the other 2 are not. just give them a ring!

I have a denco kit, t3 style water cooled turbo, modded injector pump with boost compensator, 3 inch mandrel exhaust and 3 inch dump pipe running 16 psi and around 100kw at rear wheels on 33's. The egt does run a bit high at 450 - 500 deg celcius when towing , but other than that it is good.

my question is, did you guys find a big jump in fuel economy when you boosted it up when you drive normally...... or only when you jump on it???
