i have been running at 16psi sustained for a while now.

i am catless. this makes a difference. i also don't spend any appreciable time in the 6k-7k rpm range, which also makes a difference.

highest peak was about 19, which promptly triggered fuel cut. i was adjusting my MBC and got a little, erm, shall we say, overzealous?

(that's not suggested, btw. if you're stock keep it around 15psi and you'll be happy for a long time.)

I think it will be more useful to post where the boost measurement is taken from. From the stock map sensor I get 13.3 psi. I don't think stock should hit 15, unless boost is taken before IC.

Same here. Catless setup. I stopped at 15-15.3 before adding my downpipe.
