Below zero is engine vacuum measured in inHg (inches of Mercury). Above 0 is positive pressure (boost). That's how my hungover *** exlpains it anyways.

My RA is stock with a Defi gauge, it tends to hold at 14-15 psi under hard acceleration.

My RA hit 18 psi tapering to 15 with the stock tune. I have tuned it with a boost pill to run 22-23 tapering to 18-19. It is possible to spike to 26 psi since I had mine reaching 25+ at one time, but it is blowing such hot air at that point that it was knocking causing the car to pull timing. I have more power at 22 psi. That's the small turbo for ya
