Question stock boost pressure

Hi everyone,
I got a question. How many PSI should I be pushing completely stock. I installed an Autometer guage and I am pushing around 16 peak. I bought the car used so I don't know if it's modded somehow or the guage is off or what's up? Help me out.

Thats alittle high for stock, does it stay there or just jump up to it then go back down to around 14 or so?

I did the 3/16 mod from boostkits.com and my boost is now at 15 and it gets up there alot faster and stays there a little longer.

Its this http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/sho...?threadid=1564 but I wouldnt suggest doing it. It can cause boost spike and I (like many here at I club)took it off after trying it.
