Question Stock Boost Pressure?!

Greetings,

I just finished installing a boost gauge..

the reading is 18~19psi boost on third gear and up to a straight non-deviating 20psi on 4th gear (all the way to redline and even cutoff)..

my car is stock everything and i am really surprised it is reaching such levels.. I even intended to order a halmark MBC after the gauge installation but now, i am really confused!

Is this normal? Mind you, it is a Jap import evo-7..

(the boost guage is really steady and is of Splitfire brand, pics attached)
