Cobalt ss/tc 09 boost question

Alright this might sound like a stupid question but hear me out, I have an 09 ss/tc and when I floor it I ramp up to 25. Lbs of boost, is this the normal amount or is it higher. As far as I know all it has is the gm stage 1 turbo upgrade

Yeah thats high. Sounds like it has an aftermarket tune. but you say it has the GM 3 bar sensors right? They are blue and 1 is located on the intake manifold

Like 25lbs spike or consistent 25lbs? I put gms1 on mine last week and while driving it over the weekend I saw go up and spike just for a sec at 24/25 a couple times but immediately went down to about 20/21 during a 3rd gear pulls. It was pretty high humidity out and about 60*

it is a consistent 25 lbs no matter what gear and it's almost instant

I had gms 1 at one point and can tell you you should not be at 25lbs consistently. Your car has got a different tune in it.
