Boost Pressure

[Coless3]

Hi running a completely standard s3 bam, can anyone tell me what my boost pressure should be and when I should I measure it? Should it be foot down in 2nd gear etc.

Sorry if this seems a stupid question

12psi... 3rd gear full throttle should suffice.

That's not a lot of boost to get 221 bhp out of an engine. 0.75 bar boost peak ! I think my tranny van is running more boost than my s3 lol. This makes me sad....... :-(
