23lbs of Boost?

Ok, I finally got my swoosh boost gauge installed today. It looks kind of like the Defi but I would say the generic kind of it. It's not that cheap either Anyways, I'm doing some pulls from 3rd gear at 3K rpm to redline for a road tune datalog. I'm showing 23lbs of boost. Is that normal? Anyways I flash my ECU with a ROM different than mine b/c I can go past redline to 8K rpm. Next time will just be To Redline not Past Redline. Also got my oil temp gauge and it reads 180 degrees. I'll post some pic and vid soon in this thread when I get the chance. Thanks for your inputs.

I personally do 4th gear pulls. I feel full boost readings are more accurate but this is IMO.

Since the redline in 4th gear is 100+ MPH, just go 2500 RPMs and go WOT until 4K-5K. I periodically do this to check my MBC.

Yeah, on 92 and sometimes 93 octane gas. I also did a 4th gear pull from 3K to redline too. I was at 109mph on the freeway which speed limit is 70. Hope I don't have to do too much of those runs
