boost controller set to 13. It's a good bit higher than I'm making use of, but I am still at 7 or 8 after shifting.

Cruising at 70mph on a flat surface around 3100rpm....8-9psi.

Going uphill at 75mph under full load....about 11.5-12psi

Mine will top out at 22psi if I let it. I disconnected my wastegate, but control it via la foot.

No idea, never checked. My 0-60 is within factory spec so I assume its right.

I'm getting a controller too, hopefully it will be here this week!
I'm not going to turn the boost up, but I am hoping that it helps it build a bit faster..it was cheap, so if nothing happens, oh well. Plus at least I'll have one if I ever decide to try the full load adjustment.

I wouldn't go cranking up the boost on an almost 30 year old motor unless you are willing to start breaking stuff.

Set it to factory spec and leave it.
