Concur with Dreamin. Mine varies from 8-10# depending on the variables mentioned. If ya want accuracy get an aftermarket gauge too.

Post where is the boost??

I have a 2000l witn 1200 miles on it. I was running 8psi of boost untill I put on a chip and air flow. Then I was 10 to 10.5 psi. I was really happy. Now with in the last few days I have barly seen 9.5psi. Any thoughts??? I have allready checked and ajusted the boost dump valve.

Outside temp / air pressure / engine temp / altitude all affect boost pressure.

Are you using an aftermarket boost gauge?
