Usually they produce 6 to 8 PSI. This is under factory spec, which is 12 - 13.5 PSI. Adjust to factory spec for better performance.

it's suppose to be around 12-14psi but in real life it's only 9psi for emmissions reasons.

The spring in the wastegate controller gets tired, lowers boost. Factor spec is 0.9 atm or 13.5 psi, ajust wastegate controller to obtain proper boost.

You may need to replace the spring.
